About this place:

Mount Ruapehu is an active volcano in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand. New Zealand's two largest ski fields are situated near the top; and when the weather cooperates, they both offer great skiing and expansive, panoramic views of the North Island. It is also possible to hike to the crater lake - especially in summer, when the landscape is dominated by black, jagged boulders.
