Studies available  
We learn how volcanoes were shaped differently by different eruptions.  We see how geography is so important for settlements. We enter the feature filled volcano, explore the hidden harbour,  the dynamic shores of the Pacific Ocean, prominent estuaries and ever-moving coasts.  We visit historic sites, swimming and surfing beaches and seaside communities. We can discover the amazing story of bringing the harbour and Christchurch city  together.
