Description A wall along Lake Rotomahana, which was expanded in the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera.
This location was the site of the White and Pink Terraces in the late 19th Century - hot springs that grew into massive, terraced formations, hundreds of feet high, that were a tourist attraction for English and Europeans who wanted to "take the waters." The Terraces were destroyed in the 1886 eruption.

Tarawera erupting, 1886
This lithograph of Mt Tarawera erupting on the night of 10 June 1886 was made by A. D. Willis, based on a painting by Charles Blomfield. The view is from the Māori village of Waitangi, on the northern shores of Lake Tarawera, where there was only a single death. Blomfield did not see the eruption, and reconstructed the dramatic scene from what he had been told.
In Te Wairoa, a few kilometres closer to the volcano, Charles Haszard observed the eruption from his verandah and had exclaimed, ‘What a grand sight! Should we live a hundred years we shall never again see its equal.’ He died a few hours later when his house collapsed.

Painting of Tarawera mountain erupting June 1886...very realistic according to all reports...the whole top of the mountain was split in two...with 5 main vents...

Devastation caused by the Tarawera eruption (1st of 2)
This map shows the main area affected by the Tarawera eruption, and gives an estimate of the number of deaths at different localities.
The northern end of the Tarawera rift sent up a column of scoria and ash, similar to that of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The eruption at the southern end of Tarawera was phreatomagmatic – the result of contact between hot magma and water – and covered the country with a hot, fast-moving blast of fragmented rock that destroyed everything in its path.

Crater
Back in 1886 Mt Tarawera erupted causing all sorts of devastation in the Rotorua area. Now it is possible to visit the crater, even jumping into it! Catch a local tour or drive yourself to the bottom of the mountain and walk up. Either way, you must have a permit to do this. Only 4WD vehicles can drive up the mountain, so catching an organised tour is usually your best option.

The whole trip is possible in one day, just a few hours if by helicopter!
Some people are happy to trek to the edge of the crater and just look into it, but by far the most fun thing to do is walk around the edge to the point where you can jump over the side and “run” down the scree sloped into the heart of the crater.
Crater's edge.
At the Top Looking over the edge!It can be pretty spooky looking over the edge, but this is a very popular trip for New Zealand school groups like this one.
Gone!
Going Down>>>>>!!It is very steep, but once you get going and have faith in what you are doing, then you just boogey on down.
It's a long way down!
Look way down the bottom of the crater and see my little daughter who took off!!!!
