The Tongariro Crossing Continues even more!!
Did you know the last eruption of Mt ngauruhoe was in 1975 & Mt Ruapehu had some spectacular eruptions as recently as 1995 and 1996!!! To the west of the Central Plataeu lies lonely Mt Taranaki, which is a spectacular almost conical shaped volcano near the coastline. This volcano appeared in the Lord of the Rings film as Mt DOOM!! Shrek appeard as an extra in the film as well! he was one of the Hobbits can you guess who eh??
