What lies beneath: the hidden caves buried under Auckland back yards
Rich history to 200 caves - from housing a secret printing press to widow's shelter - as steps taken to protect the 'sacred' sites.
Aucklanders are familiar with the volcanic terrain of their city above ground, living side by side with 53 volcanoes. Yet many are unaware of the extraordinary landscape concealed beneath their feet. Formed by volcanic eruptions, lava caves and tunnels are rare globally, and the sprawling patchwork beneath Auckland is unique to New Zealand. The city sits on top of roughly 200 known caves with a new cave being discovered every month.
270224 Inside Sean Jacob at the entrance to his backyard lava cave in Mt Eden, Auckland. Sean bought the property in the 1990’s to protect the lava cave beneath it. Auckland's underground lava cave network - with geological and social history.
The caves have been used over the years as everything from Maori burial sites to mushroom farms, to housing a covert communist printing press.
They form an expansive network underneath the city, and now researchers are attempting to map them all, and in the process discovering a new cave roughly every month.
