Description
An illustrated account of the eruption and subsequent slow erosion of the volcanoes which formed the present Banks Peninsula on the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island. Describes the history and geophysical processes of the eruptions, the contribution they have made to the wealth of the Canterbury region, and what they look like now. Includes further reading and an index. Cox's previous books include 'Slumbering Giants' and 'Fountains Of Fire' about volcanoes in North Island.
