Day 17 'Mountains for Mental Health' artwork.
Pūtauaki/Mount Edgecumbe is a dacite volcanic cone in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand. Located 50 km east of Rotorua and 3 km east of Kawerau, it is the easternmost vent of the Okataina volcanic centre, within the Taupō Volcanic Zone. The mountain rises to 820 m above sea level, and is visible from the waters of the Bay of Plenty, 30 km to the north. Every year a King of the Mountain race is run on Pūtauaki as part of the international King of the Mountain series, and proceeds are donated to charity.
