We looked at what was offering in the way of steaming mounds and bubbling mud pools where gobs of mud leap like startled frogs over the surface and land back in the mud with a plop, plop, plop and boiling swishing steaming holes of water which fascinated Snow.

- | Auckland boys didn't look exactly happy either. They ate up their breakfast in silence and got back into bed too. After an hour or so | ||

- | We headed for Ngauruhoe, the active volcano, fuming away into the clear morning sky. It took us three hours to get to the tops first up a tussocky gully, then over rocky outcrops and over lava flows, and finally up a thousand feet or so of coke heap where we scrabbled for a foothold in the loose scoria and pummice and sulphur- yellow lava chunks, for every two steps upwards slipping back one. It was a terrific effort to non-acclimatised Aussies, and we laboured considerably. (So, as a matter of fact, did the Auckland boys.) | ||
- | A couple of hundred feet from the summit the murky fume began to drift over us, sulphurous and noxious. The bus driver had told us that it was too dangerous to climb the mountain in its present state of activity. "The wind might change and blow that smoke in your direction. One whiff and you're out like a light l" So I kept my eye on the party, waiting to see them one by one fall unconscious and hurtle down the slope. But no, and we eventually staggered up on to the rim and looked in. Great clouds of smoke and steam were Whirling about, at times clearing off a bit to disclose the hissing vents in the walls from which the steam and smoke issued. George wandered off around the rim with h:ls camera at the ready and faded out like a wraith into the murk. Snow and I and the others threw rocks into the crater which made the whole rim structure echo and ring with a loose hollow vibration. Then we rolled ourselves up in our parkas and tried to sleep on the hotted-up scoria in an atmosphere of irritating sulphur fumes. George did not return. We were beginning to concoct a cablegram of condolence to his home folk when we saw him again through a rift in the fume, on the far side of the crater. If the various kodachromes come out as intrepid as they looked they' | ||

- | After about an hour Jim took off back to the base of the coke heap for lunch and we were soon following. As we ate lunch at midday down in the saddle between Ngauruhoe and Tongariro, debating whether or not to climb the latter, down cam the rain and made up our minds for us. We accordingly returned to the hut at full speed. | ||
- | An early tea, then we pushed off on the 6-mile walk to the Chateau. Very pleasant it was walking in the now fine mmnlit evening, over tussock plains and through beech forests, and then the lit-up Chateau buildings in the distance. We had a search round for the motor camp in the dark, and after a bit of a hunt up the road we finally settled in about. 10 p.m. | ||
- | Away next morning about 8 for Ruapahu. A 44 mile slog up a rocky road brought us to the base of the mountain. We found the chair lift just starting up. The young Swiss custodian was a bit chary of letting us go on it unescorted and said we would have to walk as his mate was not about to keep an eye on our landing, but we managed to persuade him, and great was his relief when we rang back from the other end and reported our safe arrival without being chair- bound and carried round the bull ring and crushed to a pulp in the process. | ||
- | Over a small rise was the next chair lift - much more spectacular then the first, which took us up over rocky gullies and waterfalls and extensive snowfields to a height of 7.300 ft, "This is the way to climb mountainsI" | ||
- | It had been a beautiful fine morning, but now the mists began to sweep over and we set off on the final thousand feet of slope without much visibility. A long plod over soft snowfields and at last we came to the crater lake lyingibbelow us with whisps of steam wafting over the yellow water like disembodied ghosts. The mists had cleared, and out came the cameras. In case they changed their minds about going down to the lake, while they took pictures I kicked my way down a steep slope, then slid down to the water, and on looking back I could see three small figures at last following. At the steep slide George worked out a unique system of descent, that is, on the back, head first, with the parka acting as a toboggin and using the ice axe as a brake when necessary. It looked mighty4 | ||

The tempera ture of the water was distinctly high, but not too hot for comfort, but it must have been 50% pure acid and stung our cuts and scratches fiercely.
