Friday, is considered by some who have climbed it during I tie Inst few years, |,o lie gaining in activity. Mr W. Salt, president of the Ruapehu Ski and Ice Club, who has made a large number of ascents in recent, years, says the crater lake appears more active each time he visits it. When members o( the Tararua Tramping Club climbed to Hie crater in August last it appeared to be much more active than when several of the leaders had seen it last, some years previously. I'nlil about 1887 it was not, known that an active crater existed in Huapehu. Mi' It, Speight, in describing the geology of |he National Park, expresses the opinion that Huapehu will bee one active again; perhaps not in Ihe near future, hut almost certainly after a long space of time.
