#DYK Our biggest volcano isn’t a cone. It’s Lake Taupō, formed about 25,500 years ago in the massive Ōruanui eruption. 😱🌋🌋😱 The huge eruption spat out so much magma that the ground collapsed kilometres downward and left a caldera – a gigantic collapsed block of land – in its wake. Water filled the hole, and Lake Taupō was formed. Taupō supervolcano – Ōruanui eruption, 25,500 years ago Reference landscape image courtesy of LINZ.

Mount Tauhara is a dormant volcano near Taupō, New Zealand, offering a popular hiking track to its summit, which is 1,088 meters high. The trail is a steep, 2.5 km climb that takes 2-3 hours round trip and provides panoramic views of Lake Taupō and the surrounding area. This lava dome volcano formed about 65,000 years ago and is significant to the local Māori. 😱🇳🇿 #fblifestyle #fbreelsfypシ゚ #fypシ゚ #highlights #follower #reelsfypシ #Taupo #newzealand #mounttauhara | Vibes Good
