A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a "national park" in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. The first area to use "national park" in its creation legislation was the US's Mackinac Island, in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result, Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.

The mountains at the heart of the park have cultural and religious significance for the Maori people and symbolize the spiritual links between this community and its environment. The park has active and extinct volcanoes, a diverse range of ecosystems and some spectacular landscapes. Source: UNESCO TV / © NHK Nippon Hoso Kyokai URL: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/421/

Traveling across the fascinating volcanic landscape of New Zealand's central North Island...
About a thousand years ago the forefathers of the Maori discovered the present day New Zealand, the Northern as well as the Southern Island. They called it Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud. New Zealand has one of the largest volcanic areas in the world. The volcanic plateau on the Northern Island is part of the ring of fire around the Pacific. Tongariro National park is located here. The thermal valleys with its geysers, wells and coloured puddles are always in motion. The earth is literally evaporating here. Tongariro, Waimangu, Rotorua, Taupo, are just a few names where the fluid core of the earth is always present. The west side of Tongariro lies in the shadow of mountains and has a genuine desert climate. It is called Rangipo Desert. The tussock grasses cause a kind of dune...

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of those must walks of New Zealand. However being New Zealand most winter visitors miss the chance of doing it, because of weather conditions on the mountains. We nearly were one of those visitors who never got a chance to do the crossing. But on my last full day and one of my friend Lucy's last days, the rain cleared and the crossing was open. So on the morning 30th, September we were picked up early from our hostel and dropped at Mangatepopo Carpark, at the start of the Alpine Crossing. The crop was also the film set of Mt Doom from the Lord of the Rings films and Mt Ngauruhoe is nicknamed as Mt Doom. The crossing is a one way 19.4km trek across the alpine pass of Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngaurahoe. The Department of Conservation class the walk as an adva...

Resumen de tres semanas inolvidables en Nueva Zelanda. En la Isla Sur disfrutamos de sus glaciares, del maravilloso Monte Cook, de la preciosa ciudad de Christchurch (antes de ser destruída por un terremoto en 2011), de las maravillosas playas de Abel Tasman... y en la Isla Norte, del maravilloso "Parque temático de la geotérmica" en Rotorua, Tongariro National Park... Fue increíble!
