A la découverte du Mordor!
... a en effet connu récemment une éruption. Cela remonte au mois d'août dernier! Le 6 Août très exactement! Le cratère en question se nomme Rahui et sa dernière éruption remontait à 1896. Nous constatons effectivement ses effets : en contrebas du cratère, tout est plat, grisâtre voire noir. Il n'y a aucune végétation, comme si tout avait été rasé, déboisé.
Nous longeons en descendant jusqu'au Ketetahi Hut (refuge), la zone détruite par le volcan. C'est ...
Etape 10 : Topette Taupo!

Forgot to mention that Kea (our driver) drives pretty fast around corners and the trip into and out of Blue Duck is extremely windy. Got mesmerised at one point watching all the junk on the bus floor going from side to side ... Almost ...
Volcanic Hikes
... where Gollum from Lord of the Rings ate the fish, but as I have never seen it (and don't have the desire to) meant I was subjected to lots of abuse. After this Shellie and I completed a two hour trek in Whakapapa Village, a national park trail. On this trek we saw views of the three volcanoes, Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu - which is still active, and could see the steam coming out of it. All three volcanoes continue to be monitored. We were both soaked and ...
