Pictured here are Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngarahoe.
The volcanic massif, often simply referred to as Tongariro, has a height of 1,978 metres. It first erupted about 260,000 years ago. The volcano consists of at least 12 cones. Ngarahoe while often regarded as a separate mountain, is geologically a vent of Tongariro. It is also the most active, having erupted more than 70 times since 1839, although the last eruption took place in 1974-1975.
I find volcanoes amazing as well as frightening...their eruptions can be destructive with great consequences....its scary of how the volcanoes lava can simply wipe off everything it comes across....ive never seen a volcano live...but id love to...an active one....feels exciting!

I've just tagged someone to get a card from this site!
All of these unesco cards are great and i only have a card from the italian site.
It's kinda hard to get all the sites but at least and because there's a lot of them, is quite fun trying to get and expect for new cards.
I can tell you where i got the rest if you want :P
btw, i have no idea how i seem when i say "Im NOT gonna focus on collecting UNESCO cards"...probably as someone who is sick and tired of them :))
I love getting new UNESCO's and new countries and all...just that i dont want neither can focus on that only, esp. since there are too many....and there are too many other beautiful cards out there as well....so i just take it gradually...ive found myself several times in a position when im supposed to choose a UNESCO card to get, but i end up asking for something totally different which simply captured my attention...yeah, im stuck, i know :D
