Red crater, Tongariro National Park, NZ That is Mt Ngauruhoe on the right (2,200m) and then the ‘red crater’ is just on the left and a little closer. The crimson colour comes from the oxidised iron in the rock, and it’s so impressive to see close up! I loved it :) There was also this awesome looking pink/purple patch at the bottom of the golden coloured desert floor. I’m yet to figure out what caused this but it really caught my eye and I often think about it :) This follows on from my last post, the blue lake is right behind me here!:) Peace and love to you all!:)
