The ruapehu volcano, located in North island, New Zealand, stands 2797 meters tall, and 110 kilometer cubed all together. Ruapehu is an andosite stratovolcano(composite).It is a continental volcano. Its most famous eruptions were in 1945 and 1995, but its most recent one was in 2007. Ruapehu only has one vent but has a famous crater lake at the summit. This lake contains 8-10 million meters cubed of acid waters. This volcano formed with the subduction of the Pacific plate underneath the Indo-Australian plate. One could do so much besides touring the volcano, there is ski resorts, and you could go to the crater lake.
