Puketutu Iceland is a volcanic island in the Manukau Harbour on the North Island of New Zealand and part of the Auckland Volcanic Field. In the 1950s, the cinder cone of the island have been extensively mined in order to serve as a filler for the nearby Auckland Airport. The fiduciary organization that owns the wooded island today, has designed a plan under which the old form of the island is to be made ​​using post-treated sludge of wastewater treatment plant in Mangere again. This process could take up to 35 years. The aim is that the island will become a park for the Auckland region.

On the island there was in the past centuries several Pā ( fortifications Māori ), but these were abandoned at the time of arrival of European settlers in the area.
