 The past eruption of Mt Tarawera


The eruption was on June 10th 1886 that was 2,000 years ago the eruption lasted 6 hours and caused massive destruction. It destroyed several villages along with the famous hot springs which are basically the pink and white terraces. The smoke and ash rised up to 10 km high before the people knew a volcano was erupting they thought it was the Russian  war ship attacking the country but after a bit they released it was a volcano they were trying to run away from the eruption but it wasn't possible thousands of people died and the city's sank in the mud and now it's all underground and some people's bodies are underground but anesthesiologists now found the whole city and even the bodies it was as bad as getting an injection on both of your shoulders. It was a disaster!

  1. Sounds very horrible! I hope the Mt Tarawera won't erupt again, what would be better is if Mt Tarawera gets extinct. Anyways, that was an amazing text!
    PS: Felt like I was reading a book.
