An eruption at the crater about 1.30pm on Wednesday sent an ash plume shooting up to 4 kilometres into the sky ( Waikato ). The mountain spewed some ash possibly a couple of kilometres up in the air. The eruption was a loud explosion but it only lasted for a short amount of time. I hope that all the people who live close to Mt-Tongariro will get to somewhere safe and I hope that know one will get hert from it. I got some information from a website saying “There were a large number of people on the mountain today, many completing the Tongariro Crossing, and it is believed everyone is safe”
Click on the word that say's Mt-Tongariro and it will take you to a site with more information about the explosion.
