The 1886 eruption of basalt scoria and ash from this long rift down the centre of a number of rhyolite domes that form Mt Tarawera is of international scientific importance. It is also of major significance to New Zealanders as the site of this country’s most destructive eruption in historic times. It is of concern that the mountain and rift have no legal protection and it is already scarred by a bulldozed road to the summit and a cleared landing strip. Photo: Loyd Homer
