Another view to the snow-covered heights of Mt. Ruapehu - and in front of it the old but exclusive hotel "Grand Chateau".

One of some lakes at the crater of Mt. Ngauruhoe (2,287 m). They get their colour from minerals washed up by the volcano and are called "Emerald Lakes".

We discover the volcanoes in Tongariro National Park on a day-hike - in the background the 2,287 metres high Mt. Ngauruhoe.

 03/09/2003:
One of the biggest volcanoes of the island: the 2,797 metres high Mt. Ruapehu is still quite active. 1996 was the last time that it threw a lot of ash and rock into the air. When it's quite, his slopes are enjoyed for skiing in the winter. Here it enjoys us at sunrise.

Here we can see, hear, smell and feel the warmth of the Earth beneath us. Many small craters (some of them erupt sometimes a week) and steam-vents proof the energy that's hidden deep beneath us.

 03/08/2003:
New Zealand was one of the first countries to use geothermal energy to produce electrical power. Today quite a lot of it's power is generated from energy out of the depths of the earth.

The rain also has it's good: it makes New Zealand green and makes the waterfalls tickle!
