Volcanic Mountains

The volcanic mountains in New Zealand are a notable and unique feature of its North Island landscape. The most striking of these volcanoes are Mount Taranaki and Mount Ngauruhoe with their triangular-shaped volcanic cones. These mountains lend themselves to photographic compositions that are symmetrical and enhance a feeling of strength (in construction, triangles are the strongest shape because any force is evenly spread through all three sides).
