Mt. Ruapehu crater lake New Zealand Wallpapers
Mt. Ruapehu crater lake is located in the Mount Ruapehu region of New Zealand.Following Mt Ruapehu's eruptions in 1995-96, a layer of unconsolidated material called tephra (ash, sand particles, and larger material) formed a dam on the crater rim preventing the natural gradual flow of water out of the lake. The lake breached the dam in mid 2007 creating a lahar. The event was predicted, and well planned for, so there were no major consequences (for people/property).
