This is Mount Ngaruhoe (pronounced na-roo-ho-ee) an active volcano in the centre of New Zealand’s North Island. It stands in Tongariro National Park which is largely comprised of a volcanic ‘desert’ plateau.
This picture was taken from the main road. Many years ago some idiot made the decision to place the power lines and pylons between the main road and the volcanoes. And here we are trying to build up our tourism business!
