Rangitoto Island 朗伊托托岛

The Island of Rangitoto is a major landmark of Auckland City. Situated in the middle of the Hauraki Gulf, Rangitoto is a volcanic island formed about 6000 years ago, and was one of last volcanoes that was formed in the Auckland volcanic region. Today, the symmetrical and conical island is extinct, but is now a popular attraction for travellers who are interested in hiking and spending time with nature.

朗伊托托岛是奥克兰的著名地标。坐落于奥克兰港口的中央，朗伊托托是大约六千年前火山爆发所形成，是奥克兰众多火山中形成比较晩的一个。和奥克兰其他火山一样，朗伊托托现在是个死火山，而这个尖圆对称的火山岛现在是奥克兰的重要景点，吸引者喜欢大自然的游客来远足和露营。

Because of its prominence in the Auckland harbour, it is one of the most recognisable icon associated with Auckland, and can be seen in many parts of city. You can get a particular good view of Rangitoto from the Mission Bay area, both from the main beach and the headlands, where it stands tall in the middle of the deep blue sea, linking the sea and the sky. It can also be seen up at the Auckland Domain and on One Tree Hill, where the island becomes one with the Auckland Cityscape, giving Auckland that unique crossover between suburban and the wilderness.

朗伊托托是奥克兰辨识度最高的地貌，在市内很多地方都可以一睹芳容。在使命湾一带的海滩和海岬可以清楚的看见它耸立在大海中，成为海天相连的桥梁。而在市中心的奥克兰中央公园和独树山观望，朗伊托托则变成奥克兰天际线不可或缺的一部分，把大自然的气息带进了这个特别的都市。
