Article: Alastair Thompson

Scoop Editor Alastair Thompson is spending this week half-way up Mt Ruapehu, the largest volcano in the central volcanic region of New Zealand’s North Island.

The following two images were taken at the beginning and end of a perfect day on Whakapapa, our third perfect day. The first image shows Ngauruhoe in all her pristine splendour, the second a glimpse of the summit of Ruapehu through the mountain cloud that settled around Whakapapa this evening.
