Mount Tauhara

Mount Tauhara is a dormant lava dome[1] volcano in New Zealand's North Island, reaching 1,088 metres (3,570 ft) above sea level.Formed about 65,000 years ago, Mount Tauhara was not a violently explosive vent, instead slowly oozing a viscous dacitic lava.[3] Little evidence of its volcanic past remains today; the peak is covered in dense native bush.There is a steep walking track to the top of Mount Tauhara, starting at Mountain Road.On a clear day, the summit offers excellent views over the Volcanic Plateau, encompassing the entirety of Lake Taupō in the southwest.
