After lying dormant for more than a century, Tongariro erupted in 2012 at upper Te Māri Crater. There were two eruptions, one in August and a much smaller one on 21 November. When we passed the mountain 6 days later there was still some activity. www.geonet.org.nz/news/1wJOejzSje4TmJnphO8bBM whc.unesco.org/en/list/421
