The Active Volcano in New Zealand; Tongariro

The second most active volcano on the North Island of New Zealand is Tongariro. During the 20th century, it erupted 45 times, and last erupted in 2012. This volcanic complex contains a group of explosion craters, stratovolcanoes, and hot springs aligned along a north-northeast trending line. Its tallest peak is Ngauruhoe, which is a very young volcanic cone. This video will discuss this volcanic complex and mention what its future hazards are.
