  1. Ruapehu (rOOupā'hOO) [key], active volcano, 9,175 ft (2,797 m) high, on North Island, New Zealand; highest point of North Island. Ruapehu's most recent eruption cycle began in 1995. It is part of Tongariro National Park, which includes other volcanic peaks, active and inactive, and is known for its ski resorts.

    Tarawera Mountain (tä"räwâr'u) [key], volcanic peak, 3,646 ft (1,111 m) high, on the North Island, New Zealand, in Rotorua. Its eruption in 1886 destroyed villages and unique silica terraces, transformed local terrain, and temporarily drained Lake Rotomahana.


  2. Kia ora!

    Ruapehu is a CONE volcano.

    Tarawera is a CALDERA

    Ruapehu has also good snowboarding(id say skiing but seeing as all the snowboarders used me to stop, i cant)

    tarawera is pretty out there.

    the buried village is waste of money tho.
