Scientists have increased their monitoring of the volcano. Gas samplings of springs and fumaroles confirm that volcanic gases above normal levels are present. A GPS instrument has been installed to detect possible ground movement. The alert level remains unchanged at 1 (out of 4). Mount Tongariro is a volcanic complex north of Mount Ngauruhoe.
