About Mt Ruapehu
Our photos of Mt Ruapehu include the volcano and flora and fauna on the slopes of this peak.
Mt Ruapehu is an active volcano located in the central North Island of New Zealand. It is the largest active volcano in New Zealand and has erupted several times in the past century, most recently in 1995 and 1996.
Mt Ruapehu is a popular destination for skiing in the winter, with two major ski resorts located on its slopes. In the summer, visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoor activities.
Mt Ruapehu is part of the Tongariro National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its natural beauty and cultural significance.
The mountain is the tallest peak in the North Island, standing at 2,797 meters (9,177 feet). While the mountain is tall, it has a flattish top due to eruptions where it blew its top. There are a total of 18 glaciers on the mountain and below the snowline are some ancient beech forests and a few spectacular waterfalls.
