A day trip through volcanic landscapes in Tongariro National Park. The volcano is still regularly active...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By van, a one-hour drive to the parking lot where the tour starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quite a long hike, 20 km, with 1200 meters of elevation gain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the parking lot, first a long slope to Soda Springs, then up the south crater. Unlike the previous mountain, there were more mountaineers here (see the first video below). <\/p>\n\n\n
