Mount Tarawera


Mount Tarawera

Mount Tarawera is the volcano responsible for New Zealand's largest dome volcano eruption and largest historic eruption. Located 24 kilometres southeast of Rotorua in the North Island, it consists of a series of rhyolitic lava domes that were fissured down the middle by an explosive basaltic eruption in 1886, which killed over a hundred people. These fissures run for about 17 kilometres northeast-southwest.
