Mount Tongariro (/ˈtɒŋɡəˌrɛ.roʊ/; Māori pronunciation: [tɔŋaɾiɾɔ]) is a compound volcano in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of the North Island of New Zealand. It is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the southwest of Lake Taupo, and is the northernmost of the three active volcanoes that dominate the landscape of the central North Island.
The volcanic massif, often referred to as simply Tongariro, has a height of 1,978 metres (6,490 ft). It first erupted 275,000 years ago. The volcano consists of at least 12 cones. Ngauruhoe, while often regarded as a separate mountain, is geologically a cone of Tongariro. It is also the most active vent, having erupted more than 70 times since 1839, the last episode in 1973 to 1975.
Activity has also been recorded at other vents in recent history. Te Māri Craters erupted in 2012, for the first time since 1897. Red Crater last erupted ash in 1926 and contains active fumaroles. There are many explosion craters on the massif; water has filled some of these to form the Blue Lake and the Emerald Lakes.
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing in New Zealand is incredible! We made it even better with a summit of Mount Ngaurahoe (Mt Doom from Lord of the Rings) and ventured onto the Tongariro Northern Circuit Great Walk to stay one night at the Oturere hut (a few kms off the Alpine Crossing track) turning the Crossing into a 2-day walk and maximizing our adventure. If you have gear to stay overnight this is an amazing option to consider. The section between the Alpine Crossing and the Oturere hut is one of the coolest parts of the Tongariro Northern Circuit (because it looks like Mordor). Not to be taken lightly the Alpine Crossing is long at 19.4km and is a lot of up and down. Bring lots of water! Add 3 hours if you plan to tackle Mount Doom, which we highly recommend :) Major props to my parents ...
Hiking The Tongariro Alpine Crossing was incredible! We trekked for 19.4km across volcanoes with some gorgeous views of "Mt Doom", The emerald Lakes and even Mordor!

Showcasing the classic history of rainbow trout in New Zealand's most famous river, Rene Vaz and Micah Adams fly fish for winter spawn run rainbow trout in this majestic river.
My daughter and myself did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing on Wednesday 28 December 2011 in the Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Dual Status - Cultural and Natural Site)
Tongariro Crossing is a one day track in the spectacular Tongariro National Park where you can walk across active volcanos with thermal vents, spectacular colored lakes and magnificent vistas of the central North Island of New Zealand. Hopefully this short guide will encourage more people to do this memorable day hike and appreciate the need to protect and preserve such unique nature areas.
Sadly, Dan and I had to bury our old fishing mate Ron Horton (1933 - 2015) last week, a great man and a great fisherman, we stopped off for a morning session on the river en-route back to Wellington to reflect on our 25 years of knowing Ron. The fishing was great for such a short stop - dropping after an overnight fresh with no other anglers around. The Rainbows we're running 3-5lb and about a dozen fish landed each. Was also a great opportunity to test the new Sony RX100 Mk3 camera, a very impressive wee point and shoot with exceptional video quality as you can see, makes the head-cam footage look average (it's not hard to differentiate between the two)! I'm going to enjoy using this camera over the coming season. Was also a great opportunity to stretch the legs of Scott's new Meridian ...
Footage from a weekend on New Zealand's Tongariro River, this river, after a disappointing 6-7 years is back to it's full glory with large FAT Rainbows galore! The river you will notice goes from clear to dirty and back to clear as Genesis Energy flush the dam during the weekend. Well over 120 fish hooked and around 80-90 landed between two anglers, the average size around 2kgs (4.4lb) up to just over 3kgs (7lb). Tackle used is relatively light, 6 weight gear, and constant roll casting with long leaders and heavy flies saw the downfall of my Sage yet again in exactly the same place as 12 months prior! The Tongariro River is located 4 hours drive from New Zealand's capital city, Wellington where I live. Filmed with the Drift HD Ghost. Anglers; Andrew Harding & Dan Thomas. Soundtrack: "L...

Journey into Mordor on New Zealand's Tongariro Northern Circuit Great Walk! This track takes you up an active volcano and through the lava flows of Mt Doom (Mount Ngauruhoe).
