Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu.
These very active volcanoes on New Zealand’s northern island are “Tapu”, sacred in Maori. A divine ancestor itself providing a home to human ancestors. Who treads these slopes should do so with respect and be aware of the spiritual connection the Maori have with these mountains. Be grateful, feel privileged. You are among gods.History, present, culture and nature. Here, they are all the same thing.
