The volcano's last eruption was in 4360 BC ± 200 years, and was one of the largest known eruptions of the past 10,000, listed as VEI 7. Lieutenant John Watts, RN was the first European to visit Macauley and Curtis Islands — which he named after patrons George Mackenzie Macaulay, a London merchant and alderman and friend of, and William Curtis part owner of The Lady Penrhyn along with his brother Timothy — on the Lady Penrhyn in the late 1788. Other seabirds recorded as breeding there include grey noddies, sooty terns, masked boobies, red-tailed tropicbirds, wedge-tailed shearwaters, Kermadec little shearwaters, Kermadec petrels and Kermadec storm-petrels. The main part of the island is a volcanic cone, right, which has been largely eroded away. The island is a breeding site for large numbers of black-winged and white-necked petrels. The cliffs surrounding Macauley Island are seen here from the north-east. A castaway depot was established on Macauley Island in 1889, which was regularly serviced until 1918. This – one of the few places where it is possible to climb up the cliffs – was the site of the castaway depot. Commercial re-use may be allowed on request. The New Zealand government established castaway depots on Macauley and Curtis islands and L’Esperance Rock (80 km further south) soon after the Kermadecs were annexed.

The island's topography is simple, being a single high-sided plateau, with the soft rock of the island prone to the formation of deep water channels. The cliffs surrounding Macauley Island are seen here from the north-east. Lady Penrhyn had delivered convicts to New South Wales as part of the First Fleet and was proceeding to the north west coast of America refer to trade furs and thence to Macao.
