Tongariro along with Ruapehu are the most active volcanoes on the north island of New Zealand. They are both part of the Taupo volcanic zone and have been the site of dozens of historical eruptions.
I've done this hike! It's amazing. When hiking though, be mindful of the local iwi's "tapus". The summits of both Tongariro and Ngauruhoe are sacred, and should not be ascended without permission. But the trail doesn't enter these zones, so you're good to do the crossing!
Wow, yet another incredible video my friend! The north island of New Zealand has such an immense rich history. Thank you for speaking on the other volcanoes outside of Lake Taupo
Great video! Done that crossing three times and there’s no shortage of people on the trail over the summer months. We are vulnerable to earthquakes and volcanoes in NZ but all the natural occurrences have left us with a beautiful country! I really enjoy your uploads!
As far as a specific topic for a video, I'd love to hear one about the Cascade Subduction Zone. I know it's a bit outside your usual content of volcanoes and impact craters, but I think it could be interesting to learn about earthquakes and tsunamis too.
It’s really not a interesting topic the only thing people need to know is yes it’s eventually going to have a 8.6-9.1 magnitude earthquake someday within the next 350 years and it’s going to cause a large tsunami. Also if it happens in the daytime the death toll won’t be really bad people need to hope that it happens during the daytime.
@@bigrooster6893 Full rip quakes along the cascadia subduction zone happen around every 500 years with a 8.9+ quake. The last one was in 1700. What's not mentioned as often is turbodite evidence shows that partial rip quakes along the southern half of the subduction zone (west of southern Oregon, northern California) happen about every 250 years with 8.1+ quakes. I highly recommend watching lectures from Chris Goldfinger on it.
@@susanl7514 out there learning is very good and worth subscribing too. Geology Hub did do a video on the auckland volcanic field way back in the channels history.
Fantastic volcano since you can walk there on the Alpine crossing. I did it just 3 years ago and it was very exciting to see and walk on old lava flows, see giant boulders and red craters combined with a great view.
A MUST DO for any "Volcanophile." One of the best walks in the world. Fitness needed for the ascent as it can get steep, and also exposed once on the field.
White Island and Tarawera are both part of the same general rift zone as the other North Island volcanoes. They each have their own magma plumbing and thus are separate volcanoes, but they all have the same deep rifting origin.
I've been around long enough to see all 3 main volcano's - Reuapehu , Tongarioro & Ngarahoe erupting . Travel had to be along the western road to get north or south , as prevailing winds , dump a lot of volcanic debris onto the Desert Rd , aka SH 1 . It's a very beautiful area , desipte the potential of the 3 main volcano's erupting - Ruapehu maybe just a lahar eruption , or a bit more than just lahar , the other 2 , I do not know what they throw out . The one to watch would be Taupo , though Tarawera , and surrounds = fro Taupo to White Island , is an active geothermal region , with all manner of activities , from skiing in the morning to sailing for the afternoon & soaking in a geothermal pool , after days end .
Kia ora. Great video as always. I'd challenge the idea of Ngauruhoe never erupting again though. As recently as 2006 it had tremor that was volcanic in nature, and which required Geonet to raise the Alert Level to 1. Ngauruhoe has been frequently active since European settlement and as you say there is reason to believe magma exists at shallow depth. P.S. Ruapehu has gone back to Alert Level 1, which is its default minimum.
Could you cover Yamsay mountain in Oregon? Its somewhat like the already underappreciated and very odd Newberry volcano, but far more obscure. I can't seem to find anything about it and it seems to be incredibly geologically interesting.
As far as a specific topic for a video, I'd love to hear one about the ancient volcanoes that formed kimberlite pipes in Kimberley, Orapa, Letlhakane, Jwaneng and Lime Acres/Finsch. I think they are all related.
Another great video! Always so informative and engaging. Your Maori pronunciation is really good too. Just one wee hint, if I may - when speaking Te Reo Māori, the letter ‘g’ is always soft. So the ‘Tong’ in ‘Tongariro’ should rhyme with ‘Song’. The same is true of most Polynesian languages. ‘Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai’ ….. soft ‘g’ all the way. 👍👍👍 Thanks again for the great content😀
Just saw news the other day that the bottom of Lake Taupo (a former super volcano) close to Ruapeho, has recently been found to rise and fall due to magma movement below it. Let’s hope that bad boy doesn’t blow again.
The NZ Geological Service is of the opinion that the Taupo volcanic zone is a consequence of the Pacific plate diving underneath the Australian plate. The subduction zone (called the Hikurangi fault) is to the east of the North Island. Some detail here: ruclips.net/video/L8UXkQmbHZw/видео.html. New Zealand is very weird geologically - the plate boundary is opposite south of the South Island (Australian plate dives underneath Pacific plate) and parallel in the South Island.
No active volcanos in the South Island, but there has been in the islands ancient geological history. I believe there may be some dormant volcanos which haven't erupted for thousands of years, or much longer.
??Hiking on a trail up a volcanic mountain and an explosion is heard.!!!?? Do ya think it might be an eruption??????????????? Don't need a degree in geology to

I hate to ask but were the hikers ok?
@@adriennefloreen they were yeah
Climbed it and had a good look,amazing! This was before the maoris claimed it. Now you have to pay!
🙄 Before Maori claimed it? What the actual? That's either ignorant or deliberately racist. 😒
Have you already covered discussions of erratic geology such as what underlies Rosario Beach or the Chuckanut formation in Washington State?
I've done this hike! It's amazing. When hiking though, be mindful of the local iwi's "tapus". The summits of both Tongariro and Ngauruhoe are sacred, and should not be ascended without permission. But the trail doesn't enter these zones, so you're good to do the crossing!
Wtf are you on about, what are these local tribe unclean?
I too have done that hike. Feb 2009. Absolutely stunning. I heard it is one of the 10 best one day hikes in the world.
@@mfanto1 The summits are sacred ground to them. It has nothing to do with cleanliness and everything to do with respecting their customs and beliefs.
Anything that has a little bit of height to it seems to be sacred though lol
Wow, yet another incredible video my friend! The north island of New Zealand has such an immense rich history. Thank you for speaking on the other volcanoes outside of Lake Taupo
It’s my pleasure to cover the various volcanoes in NZ

I’d think it would be interesting to see videos highlighting known active fault zones and showing where on google maps those faults cross
Yay, another NZ volcano! Good stuff!
A request - Orizaba - Mexico's tallest peak. Has an awesome-looking crater!
Could you do a video on the Auckland/South Auckland Volcanic Fields? And the lost pink and what terraces
Should watch:
Aucklands Volcanic Hazards
by Auckland Emergency Management
also many terrific NZ geo vids by Out There Learning

Can you please do the Rotorua Supervolcano next

I love watching your videos and learning about the geology and volcanos. I was wondering if u can do a video of the volcanos 🌋 in Idaho 😃
I 100% believe that Mount Ngāuruhoe will erupt again and it will be a very explosive eruption.
@@keatonterry 🤣🤣🤣
What a great video again. Very good explaining and pictures!
I’d love to see a video on Mt Gambier, south Australia or anything on volcanoes in south Australia would be amazing 😁
Any word on if a couple Hobbits were seen running out of the volcano?
Or a shiny ring into its crater?
On the north side of the small lake right by the volcano, there seems to be a cinder cone and small stratovolcano. Is that a separate volcano?
thank you!
Where do White Island and Mt. Tarawera fit in this zone or are they separate? Thanks!
White Island and Tarawera are both part of the same general rift zone as the other North Island volcanoes. They each have their own magma plumbing and thus are separate volcanoes, but they all have the same deep rifting origin.

One volcano to rule them all 🧙🏻♀🌋🧙
I know you are more into volcano but do you know about the earthquake swarm at Java trench?
Great to see another video on a NZ volcano! Thanks greatly appreciated!

Tongariro is definitely more complex than I thought! Could you cover the Klyuchevskoy volcano in Kamchatka?
There is a ton of youtube stuff on Calbuco
Klyuchevskoi in northern Kamchatka Peninsula is my biggest request so far.
came here to see mt doom jokes
When I think of New Zealand it reminds me of that song called Roll over Beethoven by Jacinda
😂
A short video about the glacier lake in Lenk, Switzerland, which is about to burst would be interesting
Climbed these as a school pupil when still classified active in the 1970s.
I wouldn't dare to these days even though they're considered dormant.
Ohh Taupo magnificent Crater Lake .
Like Loch Ness both.... fathom ?
How deep?
Unique volcano 🌋 and tarawera accessories lying munga ended like paradise 1886 volcano make it unique special
Just saw news the other day that the bottom of Lake Taupo (a former super volcano) close to Ruapeho, has recently been found to rise and fall due to magma movement below it. Let’s hope that bad boy doesn’t blow again.
Do Mount Agrihan ! I think thats the spelling. Would like to know more about that!
Dig the channel

Cheers for the info Charlie. You've sparked some interest in me.
What I don't understand is how Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe aren't like Taupo (and vice versa) even though they are so close.
They may end up the same in the future
It seems like the North Island is more volcanic than the South Island. Are there active volcanoes on the South Island?
Not really, there's a couple old ones that I know of but for the most part we just get majority of the earthquakes, XD
No active volcanos in the South Island, but there has been in the islands ancient geological history. I believe there may be some dormant volcanos which haven't erupted for thousands of years, or much longer.
Watching this while sitting in a volcano in New Zealand lol
Not Tongariro but Ngauruhoe
Fuego volcano at Guatemala
Not sure, but check the history. I think it's been done before.

no, i don't think i will puke on ake.
Scared land
