100% Pure New Zealand. Its unparalleled scenic beauty and amazing outdoor activities make it one of the most desirable places to live. In fact, Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand tops that world ranking. But Auckland has an ominous secret: it sits on over 50 volcanoes.
New Zealand still has ten active volcanoes scattered across its north island. You see, New Zealand sits on the Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’, a 40,000km horseshoe-shaped belt of active volcanoes on the very rim of the Pacific Ocean. 75% of the world’s volcanos are in this ring of fire. All these Volcanos and thermal activity intrigue and fascinate us. Join Gary Kent on an incredible journey, as we look at some of the most devastating volcanic eruptions to hit New Zealand in recent times, the warning signs that were disregarded and the bravery and heroism of those who rushed to help, even at the risk of their own lives.
