14 At the centre of the North Island, Tongariro National Park presents an alien land-
scape of alpine desert punctuated by three smoking and smouldering volcanoes. The
Tongariro Alpine Crossing ( Click here ) offers the perfect taste of what the park has to offer,
skirting the bases of two of the mountains and providing views of craters, brightly coloured
lakes, and the vast Central Plateau stretching out beyond. It's for these reasons that it's of-
ten rated as one of the world's best single-day wilderness walks.
