Tankus Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Sat May 1,12:37 PM ETÂ New Zealand's Mount Ngauruhoe starred as fiery Mount Doom in Peter Jackson's epic film trilogy Lord of the Rings, but neighbouring Mount Ruapehu is the volcano scientists fear most. A simmering acidic crater lake on Mount Ruapehu, belching steam and gas that smells like rotten eggs, has been the site of more eruptions than any other crater lake in the world. Scientists studying the lake say higher levels signal a greater chance of a mudflow, and warn that a disastrous mudslide could flow down the mountain some time between November 2004 and March 2005. Ngauruhoe is seen during its last major eruption in June 1996 (Reuters) I hope the hotels insured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
