The cyclone was approaching and the effects were already clearly felt. The sky was overcast and at times it rained a little. The weather forecast did not predict completely catastrophic weather for the day, but at altitude it is a bit completely different. Wind speeds of over 150 km/h were predicted for the summit and that should be taken seriously. But of necessity I drove to the mountain and wanted to look around at least a little until it got worse. The cyclone should come only from night and the next day fully to the effect. In addition, no one knew where he now really pulls.
2023 Aotearoa – Day 8 – At Mount Taranaki
Mount Taranaki, also known as Mount Egmont, is a prominent volcanic mountain located on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island. Rising to 2,518 meters above sea level, it dominates the landscape of the Taranaki region and is one of the most recognizable natural landmarks in the country. The mountain is noted for its near-perfect conical shape and its dramatic isolation from other major mountain ranges.
