Fresh snow and a chilly start. A clip shot a while back can be seen in full resolution on my NZ Landscapes Timelapse Vol 2 show reel on my youtube and vimeo channels.

For now I am in Whakapapa Village (pronounced Fahka-papa, not even kidding) in Tongariro National Park, NZs oldest NP, located in the central plateau of the North Island. The landscape here is dominated by three active volcanoes Tongariro, Ngauruhoe (aka Mt Doom) and Ruapehu, the tallest volcano in NZ. Tomorrow I will tackle the Tongariro Northern Circuit, a 43-km track. I’ll spend four nights and five days on the trail, wish me luck!
