Eruptions of the Tongariro have occurred across at least 12 vents, with the western flank of the complex seen here in 2012. From left to right are the broad North Crater, the Ngāuruhoe cone, Pukekaikiore, and Pukeonake. Eruption deposits and material that has eroded from the edifice forms the plain in the foreground.
