        Maunga Whau (Mt Eden) is one of about 50 volcanos in
        the Auckland volcanic field.  This data set gives topo-
        graphic information for Maunga Whau on a 10m by 10m
        grid.

        The data are in the form of a matrix with rows corre-
        sponding to grid lines running east to west and columns
        to grid lines running south to north.
