Mount Taranaki And Egmont National Park


Recommended Posts

Posted

Mount Taranaki, also known as Mount Egmont, on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island, is said to be one of the most symmetrical volcanic cone in the world (another candidate is Mayon Volcano). The volcano was born 120,000 years ago and erupted last in 1775, but it’s not done yet. Volcanologists agree that Taranaki is only lying dormant, waiting, biding its time.
