🤔Did you know...

Aotearoa's National Park is made up of three andesitic volcanoes at the heart of the park - Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, and Ruapehu. They mark the southern boundary of the Taupō Volcanic Zone, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. 🔥
⛰️The name Tongariro comes from the Māori words 'tonga' meaning "south wind" and 'riro' meaning "carried away."
🏔️Ngauruhoe, meaning "throwing hot stones," is the most active of the three.
🏔️And Ruapehu, meaning "pit of noise" or "exploding pit" in Māori and has a deep active crater between its peaks, which fills with water between major eruptions, forming Crater Lake!
This together makes a unique and stunning area for adventures and an ever changing landscape.

Today is International Animal Rights Day.

We need to be reminded of our responsibility to protect animals and their habitats. One simple way to help is by ensuring we leave no trace when visiting natural areas - picking up after ourselves and refraining from leaving litter behind. By doing so, we allow local wildlife to thrive in a clean, undisturbed environment, where they can live in harmony with nature. And we can come back and visit this beautiful part of untouched Aotearoa.
