Volcanic Peaks & Glaciers
This collection highlights the geological diversity of New Zealand's Central Plateau, encompassing the active stratovolcanoes of Tongariro National Park and the massive rhyolitic caldera of Taupō. The selection includes the prominent Red Crater with its distinct iron-rich coloration, the andesitic peak of Pihanga, and the receding Mangaturuturu and Wahinoa glaciers on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu. High rhyolite cliffs at Lake Taupō and the dramatic volcanic vents of the Tongariro complex showcase millions of years of tectonic activity.
Taupo Volcano
Lake Taupō, in the centre of New Zealand's North Island, fills the caldera of the Taupō Volcano, a large rhyolitic supervolcano.
