Doomsday mountain

Tongariro national park, Mount Hoy, Nauru.

Before entering tongariro national park, you will see three towering volcanoes: Ruapehu Volcano, Nauru Hoy Volcano and Tongariro Volcano. Some scenes of Mount Doom in The Lord of the Rings's movies were shot in Mount Ruapehu, but you can see all the volcanoes here.

They are so high on the horizon that people can't hold their breath. It's a waste of opportunity not to approach. You can go to the ski resort, or cross the trail of Tongariro Mountain on a chic day, or go deep into nature along other trails. You don't have to walk 796 square kilometers of the whole national park, but you will also feel the shock of nature.

This is the first national park in New Zealand and the local Maori tribe Tuwharetoa.

Maori)/kloc-a gift given more than 0/00 years ago. For a long time, because of its volcanic landform and profound cultural significance, it has been recognized as a double heritage by UNESCO. Maori people think that the mountains here are strong fighters fighting each other. In the process of fighting, they created this landscape that attracts more than 200 thousand tourists every year. Come in person once, and you will understand why they are fighting.

Ruapehu, mt

Ruapehu is the highest mountain in the North Island and one of the most active volcanoes in the world. An eruption began in March 1945 and lasted for nearly a year. Lava spread to the crater.

Lake), a large number of volcanic ash floated as far away as Wellington like dark clouds. Hundreds of cases of "ruapehu's Throat" were reported in the process of volcanic ash subsidence. On Christmas Eve of 1953, a crater lake dam collapsed, and a large number of lahar swept through Shan Ye, washing away a railway bridge. A train full of passengers rushed into the river, causing 15 1 people to die. This is one of the worst accidents in New Zealand's history.

To the northeast of Mount Ruapehu is Mount Hoy in Nauru.

Ngauruhoe (2287 meters above sea level) is the youngest of the three volcanoes, and the earliest eruption is thought to be 2500 years ago. Until 1975, Mount Hoy in Nauru erupted at least once every nine years, including one eruption in 1954, which lasted for 1 1 month, spewing out 6 million cubic meters of lava. Now its steam outlet has been temporarily cooled, which means that the main eruption port has been blocked.

Wellington and its suburbs
