Ruapehu volcano is the southernmost of the large active volcanoes of the North Island.
Ruapehu is located at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ), a spreading segment of the Earth’s crust and the source of spectacularly explosive eruptions over the last 2 million years.
Ruapehu’s third major ash eruption of this episode began in the early morning of 17 June 1996 when a strong southerly wind carried the ash in a narrow plume northwards across Rotorua.

 Ruapehu - Peakware World Mountain Encyclcopedia
Ruapehu is the highest mountain on North Island, one of three volcanoes in the Tongariro National Park.
Although Ruapehu is the highest of the three, its true dominance comes in the form of mass: It is a great bulky mountain, that rises in a series of ridges to a broad plateau that is its summit.
Ruapehu is an easy climb, and is linked to its neighboring volcanoes by a network of trails, making a traverse of the three major summits in the area a popular trek.

Located over the vent of the volcano and partially surrounded by permanent snow and ice, the Ruapehu's crater lake erupts every one to three years and was emptied in major eruptions in 1945 and 1995.
Ruapehu is showing some signs of volcano unrest, said the New Zealand Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, with "elevated hydrothermal activity" in the crater lake.
About 60 lahars have come down the side of Ruapehu in the past 150 years and the threat of another lahar is growing as the level of the crater lake rises toward the rim and threatens Whangaehu Valley on the flanks of Mount Ruapehu.
