Description

TitleIllustrated London News 1886 vol.89 page 347DescriptionThe article presents newly obtained photographs and official geological reports detailing the 1886 Mount Tarawera eruption in New Zealand. It describes the eruption’s sequence, the massive rift it created, the destruction of Lake Rotomahana and the complete loss of the Pink and White Terraces, as well as the mud and ash fall that buried Wairoa and killed over 100 people. It contrasts the region’s former beauty with its current devastated, crater‑filled landscape and notes the artistic records that now preserve scenes that no longer exist.Year1886Volume89Page Number347FormatNewspaper article
