Desert of Dead Trees
May 1993 | ||
 |
||
| The vast landscape of Mount St Helens covered with its dead trees.... | ||
Mountain of Trees
May 1993 | ||
 |
||
| When Mount St Helens erupted, the dark clouds suffocated and killed all plants... The area remained untouched.... And forms a national park now, where you can see how nature rebuilds itself. | ||
Wind in the pants
8 December 2000 | ||
 |
||
| Me with the wind blowing up my pants on top of the Haleakala Volcano. | ||
SDI....
8 December 2000 | ||
 |
||
| Here, up high on the Haleakala mountain/volcano.... this lab had its primary mission in the 80s to investigate Ronald Reagan's Starwars Program.... | ||
Enormous Crater
7 September 2001 | ||
 |
||
| On a day in 1980, this volcano erupted and a third of the mountain was blown into the skies.... The sight of the crater is still enormous.... | ||
Sunset at Mount Taranaki
30 November 2002 | ||
 |
||
| After Waitomo I drove myself to New Plymouth to see Mount Taranaki.... It took me ages to find a nice spot... | ||
More of Mount Taranaki
1 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Gorgeous, isn't it? I spent a whole morning finding a spot without power lines and the mountain in the background.... | ||
Mount Taranaki Peak
1 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| With a collar of clouds surrounding it.... | ||
Ruapehu
2 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Ruapehu erupted a few years ago and took an entire skiing area with it.... | ||
Ant Trail
2 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| The Tongariro crossing is a one-way trip. So its best to leave your car in Taupo and then just take a bus that drops you off one side and picks you up on the other side.... You have plenty of time, so just let the largest crop of people walk ahead and stay back and enjoy more on your own.... | ||
Mt. Ngauruhoe Crater
2 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Looking down into the Crater | ||
Grey River
2 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Warm, hot, smelly grey muddy water.... There are hot springs around but they are on private land, what a shame, would have been a great way to warm up.... | ||
Smoke blowing from it....
4 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| The most active volcano in New Zealand.... | ||
Smoke from the crater
4 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Rising next to the ruins of the mining station.... | ||
Walking up towards the crater
4 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Hearing the noise and the rumbling and feeling the hot ground shake underneath our feet. | ||
At the crater....
4 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| What a sight! | ||
Lake and Eruption
4 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| A poisonous green lake and next to it the eruption hole... Rocks flying out of it... And the smoke erupting in rumbling explosions, expanding and contracting... Amazing and a bit scary.... | ||
The second group
4 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| ...looking into the crater.... | ||
Haleakala Crater
26 August 2004 | ||
 |
||
| After a successful meeting, I rushed up Haleakala again... It was a windy and rainy day... Then things cleared up and I could see the crater... | ||
More crater
26 August 2004 | ||
 |
||
| Amazing Volcano Colors | ||
Up in the Sky
27 August 2004 | ||
 |
||
| You can see the top of the volcano where I drove up.... 3.5kms up... looks much lower.... | ||
