What a nightmare! Officially Mt Tongariro has erupted for the latest time. It recently erupted in Waikato, on the 21st of November 2012 after 1:30 pm. This Volcano spewed ashes and now the ashes are drifting to the east-south east. There were a large number of people on the mountain today, many completing the Tongariro Crossing, and it is believed everyone is safe.
