Image:NZ-MtAlbert.png Mount Albert is a volcanic peak and suburban area in the city of Auckland, New Zealand.
The peak, in parkland at the southern end of the suburb, is 135 metres in height, and is one of the many extinct cones which dot the city of Auckland, all of which are part of the Auckland Volcanic Field. It is one of Auckland's older cones, having been created some 50,000-60,000 years ago.
The suburb is located seven kilometres to the southwest of the city centre, and is surrounded by the neighbouring suburbs of Owairaka, Sandringham, Morningside, and Waterview. Unitec New Zealand (an Institute of Technology) is located towards the northern end of the suburb. The Mount Albert Research Centre houses the Auckland centre of HortResearch and other Crown Research Institutes. Image:Mt Albert from Big King.jpg
