  • Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand: Obserations on Its Crater Lake And
    MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON CRATER LAKE 601 MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON ITS CRATER LAKE AND GLACIERS By N. E. ODELL (Department of Geology, University of Otago, Dunedin, N.Z.) ABSTRACT.Mt. Ruapehu, the highest summit in the North Island of New Zealand, is a semi-dormant volcano, whose crater lake was responsible for the flood that caused the disastrous railway accident on Christmas Eve, '953. Since the last eruption of '945, when mostly ash was ejected, the crater lake that subsequently formed has been contained by a barrier partly composed of lava and partly of neve and ash. It was the breaking through of the latter weaker portion of the dam that was responsible for the flood of mud and boulders which descended via the Whan- gaehu Glacier and struck the railway 25 miles (40 km.) distant. There is nO evidence of eruptive activity having been the cause of the outbreak. During three ascents of the mountain, observations were made of the glaciers, which have been in a state of gradual shrinkage over a number of years. But during the past Summer-a season of excep- tional dryness-the process of ablation and wastage has been greatly accelerated, so that immense areas of rock and ash have freshly emerged, and crevasses and dirt-ridges have taken the place of smooth neve or glacier surfaces. ZUSAMlliIENFASSUNG.Mt. Ruapehu, der hochste Gipfel auf der North Island Neuseelands, ist ein halb schlum- mernder Vulkan, dessen Kr~ter-See fur die Flut verantwortlich war, die das unheilvoIle Eisenbahnungluck am Heilig Abend 1953 verursachte.
