Lake Taupo

This image was taken in Taupo looking toward snow-covered Mt. Ruapehu during a field trip for our Resource Management class. We had a great time. The scenery was beautiful, the talks were very informative, we travelled by bus along New Zealand's largest river (the Waikato), and learned all about New Zealand dairy farms and how they impact the environment. I only wish we could have spent more time around Taupo. While looking toward Mt. Ruapehu, we caught only a glimpse of an amazing World Heritage site. We'll definitely have to make every effort to get back down there!
