NAGARUHOE ACTIVE
HIOIT COLUMN OF FUMES The unusual activity o£ Ngaruhoo on Monday afternoon aroused much interest among guests at The Chateau, Tongariro National Park. A distinct column of light coloured fumes was visible on the summit of the volcano. At times it became darker and almost black, and rose for about a quarter of the height of the mountain above the summit. At first the column was thought to be clouds round the mountain, but it persisted and was seen rising steadily most of the afternoon. Fumes often emerge, but the quantity on Monday was unusual.
