The Tongariro National Park is in the southern part of the Taupo Volcanic Zone.

It was New Zealand's first National Park, and may have been the third in the world, but you'd have to check up on that. So the history of the Park would be one thread, or the vulcanology, or the ski fields would be alternates.
