Answer 2

Hi Steve

    A book called "The Story of New Zealand Volcanoea" by G.L. Pearce, says: "Although carbon dating has shown that Rangitoto certainly erupted about 800 years ago, there are indications that sporadic outbursts continued to a much later date." "Volcanoes of the World" by Tom Simkin and Lee Seibert lists a possible eruption around 1350 AD, or about 645 years ago.

    I hope this is what you were looking for.

Good Luck!!
