View from the southern end of Waihi Fault Zone north. A strike of the Waihi-South fault commences across the valley in the foreground and the fault zone extends past the western slopes of the Mount Tongariro massive in distance. The top of the cone of Mount Ngauruhoe is hidden by cloud but is to the east of the fault zone, as are the snow covered areas of Mount Tongariro behind it.
