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.

'One day it will just go off': are Naples' volcanic craters about to blow?
Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient craters in the south of Italy, is more active than Vesuvius, and residents live with daily tremors.
Solfatara is located in Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient volcanic craters near the southern Italian city of Naples, parts of which were described in a study this month as edging towards "breaking point".
The sprawling volcanic area, home to at least 360,000 people across the seven most at-risk inhabited hubs, is not as well known as nearby Mount Vesuvius, whose eruption in AD79 wiped out the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Part of the reason is because you can't see it: instead of resembling a characteristic cone-shaped volcano, Campi Flegrei, which can be translated as "burning fields", is a seven-mile-long caldera, or depression, formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma. Subsequent eruptions - the last in 1538 - created a series of small hills and craters.
But looks can be deceiving. Campi Flegrei is much more active than Vesuvius, and is among the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.

Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient craters in the south of Italy, is more active than Vesuvius, and residents live with daily tremors.
Solfatara is located in Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient volcanic craters near the southern Italian city of Naples, parts of which were described in a study this month as edging towards "breaking point".
The sprawling volcanic area, home to at least 360,000 people across the seven most at-risk inhabited hubs, is not as well known as nearby Mount Vesuvius, whose eruption in AD79 wiped out the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Part of the reason is because you can't see it: instead of resembling a characteristic cone-shaped volcano, Campi Flegrei, which can be translated as "burning fields", is a seven-mile-long caldera, or depression, formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma. Subsequent eruptions - the last in 1538 - created a series of small hills and craters.
But looks can be deceiving. Campi Flegrei is much more active than Vesuvius, and is among the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.

Pozzuoli, Italy - View of the Temple of Serapide in Pozzuoli. The Temple of Serapis is one of the best known and most representative monuments of the Campi Flegrei: it is located in the center of Pozzuoli, a few steps from the docks of the port. Towards the middle of the 18th century, King Charles of Bourbon, intrigued by the large columns of cipollino marble that emerged from a background known as the "Vineyard of the three columns", (Antonio Niccolini, "Description of the great Terma Puteolana, commonly called Tempo di Serapide" , Stamperia Reale Napoli 1846), ordered an archaeological excavation and, under many meters of marine residues, the so-called Temple of Serapis was unearthed, which, over the centuries, has become the symbol of Phlegrean bradyseism. In fact, there are numerous images that portray it now semi-submerged from sea level, now completely dry.

La Palma as captured by Copernicus Sentinel-2
This image, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission on 10 October, shows the new flow of lava from the volcano erupting on the Spanish island of La Palma.
This Sentinel-2 image has been processed in true colour, using the shortwave infrared channel to highlight the lava flow. The Sentinel-2 mission is based on a constellation of two identical satellites, each carrying an innovative wide swath high-resolution multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands for monitoring changes in Earth’s land and vegetation.
The Volcanology Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan) stated that the lava flow, with temperatures up to 1240°C, destroyed the few remaining buildings still standing north of the Todoque neighbourhood.

La Soufriere volcano: before-and-after.
La Soufriere volcano: before-and-after.Volcanic eruptions on Saint Vincent have blanketed the Caribbean island in ash leading to over 16 000 residents to be evacuated from their homes. False-colour images captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission show the aftermath of the explosive eruption that took place on 9 April 2021.
La Soufrière is an active stratovolcano on the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. A series of explosive events began in April 2021, forming a plume of volcanic ash reaching 8 km in height, and generating pyroclastic flows down the volcano’s south and southwest flanks.
The image on the left was captured on 8 April, one day before the first main eruption, while the image on the right was taken on 13 April, and shows the northern part of the island covered in ash.
The images have been processed in a way that included the satellite’s near-infrared channel. This type of band combination is most commonly used to assess plant density and health, as plants reflect near-infrared and green light, while absorbing red. Since they reflect more near-infrared than green, dense, plant-covered land appears in bright red.
In response to the eruption, the Copernicus Emergency Mapping Service was activated. The service uses satellite observations to help civil protection authorities and, in cases of disaster, the international humanitarian community, respond to emergencies.
