We witness the results of a deadly eruption that buried a whole settlement just over a century  ago.

History
This place was destroyed by volcanic ash in 1886 when nearby Mount Tarawera volcano erupted, with over 2 billion cubic metres of suffocating ash killing over 150 people. 

Activities in the village
We walk around and explore the relics of that deadly day. Next we take a look at the now peaceful lake shore bordering the killer volcano.

With the help of archaeology, relics, dioramas, photos and audio visuals groups begin to understand the destructive power and force of the suffocating material that buried, crushed and burned on that deadly day.
