Mount Ruapehu has a crater lake at it’s peak
The Crater Lake at Mount Ruapehu sits at an altitude of 2,300 meters (7,545 feet) on New Zealand's highest active volcano. Heated by the volcano’s geothermal activity, the lake’s signature turquoise colour comes from high levels of minerals like sulfur. The temperature typically ranges from 20-30°C (68-86°F). This site is tapu (sacred) to local iwi (indigenous Māori tribes) in the area, holding significant cultural and spiritual importance.
