Mount Tarawera on the North Island, New Zealand
The landscape around Mount Tarawera has been shaped by the peak’s volcanic activity. Prior to Tarawera’s violent eruption in 1886, a popular attraction here was the Pink and White Terraces, mineral hot springs that were obliterated by the explosion. A Māori village called Te Wairoa was mostly buried by ash and mud, but is now open to the public as The Buried Village. The eruption also changed the shape of some existing lakes and created new ones too.
