It’s been a bit breezy in Tongariro National Park lately 🏔️ Our friends over at GeoNet caught some awesome footage of the wild winds and dust storms through their Ruapehu & Ngauruhoe webcam. As we’re heading towards the summer hiking season, this is a great reminder to always factor the weather into your hiking plans. Popular hikes like the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Northern Circuit pass through a variable alpine zone with changeable weather conditions. It is common to experience very cold

What began as a small spark has now become one of the largest fires to hit this iconic

Officials say the fire has burned through more than 2800 hectares of Tongariro National Park. Fire and Emergency incident controller Nigel Dravitzki says favourable weather conditions and the work of aircraft and ground crews have made a difference. However, Department of Conservation's Damian Coutts says the impact on biodiversity is going to be significant. Follow RNZ's live coverage via link below 🔗 | RNZ

A business owner says Tongariro National Park resembles a hellscape as a massive forest fire continues to burn.

Firefighters from Taranaki and Manawatu-Wanganui were briefed on Sunday morning before beginning work on the second day of operations. Residents in the area are being urged to stay alert to the fire, and keep doors and windows shut to minimise exposu
