Cook's Head during late afternoon. Looking north towards Taieri Mouth and Dunedin.

Cook's Head Rock is a phonolite basalt rock[1] standing on the Chrystall's Beach expanse closely north of the rivermouth settlement Toko Mouth of South Otago, New Zealand.[2] The lower faces of the rock are made up of numerous hexagonal basalt columns suggesting Cook's Head Rock is a former volcanic vent.
