Moved
editI've moved the article Tongariro to Mount Tongariro for several reasons:
- consistency. "Ngauruhoe" redirects to Mount Ngauruhoe, and "Ruapehu" redirects to Mount Ruapehu. Why should this volcano be treated differently?
- "Tongariro" is an ambiguous term, and could apply to the mountain or the national park. "Mount Tongariro" removes that ambiguity.
- there were more links to "Mount Tongariro" being redirected to "Tongariro" than there were direct links to "Tongariro".

I don't know how this works and I do realise this is a few years late, but just for clarity Tongariro is not actually a Mount, Tongariro is the whole Massif which includes Mount Ngaruhoe as one of its peaks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.62.211.75 (talk) 11:51, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Readability
editAlthough this page nows looks OK, the pictures on the left are almost useless as the wording on them can't be read, & the detail is not visible, unless full versions are obtained by clicking. I suggest go back to the previous version until a better picture display is ready (I wonder how the size of pictures in a gallery is controlled). GrahamBould 12:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Mount Doom?
editI heard somewhere that Mount Tongariro was the mountain used for Mount Doom in LOTR. Is there anything to this? 75.35.227.117 17:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, there's some truth to that. See Mount Ngauruhoe. -- Avenue 22:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
hydro-thermal eruption
editThe jury is still out on the cause as scientists gain more information.
"We know that it wasn't just a hydro-thermal eruption, it wasn't just a shallow explosion, there was definitely magma gas released and that's why we're saying it was a phreatic eruption, driven by volcanic gas pressure."
