Volcano - Part One

The world renowned Taupo Volcanic Zone, big brother to Yellowstone, stretches from the central plateau to Whakaari White Island. The effects of this volcanic area are seen throughout the region. Today we listen to lived experiences, science and hundred’s of years of inter-generational observation (matauranga Maori).

Subjects covered include 1995 and 1975’s eruptions of Ruapehu and Tongariro, volcanic ash, behind the scenes of GNS Science’s Monday morning volcano meetings and much more.
