Volcán Ruapehu
El pico más alto de la Isla Norte y uno de los volcanes más activos de Nueva Zelanda, con un lago en el cráter de la cumbre y pistas de esquí en sus laderas. En 1953 un lahar del lago del cráter arrastró el puente ferroviario de Tangiwai minutos antes de que llegara un tren y murieron 151 personas; hoy un sistema automático de alerta de lahares vigila el lago.
