Taranaki/Egmont
Current status of Taranaki/Egmont Volcano.
Last 2 months' earthquakes
Also known as Egmont volcano, the 2518 m tall cone volcano last erupted about 250 years ago at the culmination of eight eruptions in the preceding 300 years. The western 1,500 km2 of the Taranaki region is a volcanic landscape that has been constructed from the products of volcanic eruptions principally derived from the volcano. These deposits around the base of the volcano record intermittent volcanic activity at this site for the last 130,000 years.
