'Gas and sulphur smells from the Mt Tongariro eruption have travelled as far as Wellington this morning.
The crater spewed rocks and ash when it came to life for the first time in more than 100 years at 11.50pm on Monday night.
Many people have reported a smell of sulphur in the air in the capital.
GNS Science duty vulcanologist Craig Miller said it was most likely the smells were caused by the eruption and there had been quite a few reports from the lower North Island of a sulphur smell.' (stuff.co.nz)
Boulders gouged out metre sized 'impact' craters along the Tongariro Alpine Crossing track.
