View of a lava field on the southern slopes of Mount Ruapehu. Created by an eruption where lava flowed down the side of the mountain, they are mostly rocky environments with little vegetation growth. The rocky surface is often sharp and bumpy making it hard to walk across. You can also see forests and Ohakune Mountain Road below.
