caption_attribution_description: View from near the summit of Rangitoto Island, Auckland, New Zealand, looking out over Motutapu, Rakino and the Noises. The closest two grassy headlands are part of Motutapu Island. Rakino Island, almost as grassy, is a little more distant. Bush-covered Otata Island, the largest of the Noises group, peers over Rakino, and Motuhoropapa Island (the second largest) lies to Rakino's left. Great Barrier Island is visible along the horizon, with the tip of the Coromandel Peninsula appearing in the far right.
