This is Mount Taranaki, also called Mount Egmont. Taranaki is a National Park on the west coast of the North Island. It's about 75kms from where I was. I took the picture from the top of Mt Ngauruhoe.
Slip-sliding down the slope of Ngauruhoe

Ladybugs living on the warm rocks at the crater. I don't know what they live on. Tourists?
This is a view from the second hut, Ketetahi, in the setting sun.
The last leg of our tramp was from Mangatepopo Hut, where we had lunch, to Whakapapa Village. We'd been trudging through mud for 1.5 hours when we decided to have a break at the top of the next little ridge. It was the perfect spot: we could see Whakapapa (about 2-3kms away). The Grand Chateau looked like a Disney fairytale palace from the distance (from close by it looks less beautiful. It's ugly as. Doesn't blend into the landscape, obviously.)
