Taupo Posted by 60503 on August 7, 2007

First time here was in Oct 05 in CNY with BSC. Can't remember who landed - might have been me?

Flying around volcanoes Posted by Yannick on August 3, 2007

We did a scenic flight in a C172 out of Taupo, over the huge Lake Taupo (itself filling the caldera of a massive volcano that erupted last 1,800 years ago, and there are some theories that the Ice Age would have been caused by the ashes from its largest explosion 26,500 years ago), then down to Ruapehu, a 9000ft volcano which is still active. A unique experience and a must-see for anyone visiting New-Zealand north island.
