Found A Little Bit Of Home In Wellington

So I was out walking around Wellington to day and I saw this house, called Antrim house! I couldn't believe it being from Co. Antrim and now Antrim house 12,000 miles away in New Zealand! Well a nice little bit of home here in Wellington : ).

Volcano Eruption - Mount Tongariro

Mount Tongariro










Well last night another volcano in the North Island erupted - it wasn't a major eruption but this morning I had a surprise in the Capital! I opened  my window this morning and I could smell the sulphur from it - it was so strong and it REALLY stank! But I guess that it was kind of cool - I have witnessed (ish) an eruption! Even though the volcano is over a hundred miles away, the smell of sulphur was so strong down here in the capital!
Really cool - especially as a Earth Science and Geography student!
Thanks Mount Tongariro! :)
Volcanoes currently on active warnings - Mount Tongariro, White Island and Ruapehu
