There have been in the past, extensive volcanic activity in the South Island, but long ago - perhaps tens of millions of years. Today, active volcanic and geothermal activity is mainly in the North Island and its immediate islands such as Mayor and White Islands, but the Kermadec Islands have active vulcanism. Today's active volcanism is mainly in the Taupo Volcanic zone, which extends from the two offshore islands above, to the volcanic trio of the National Park to the south. Tongariro, Ruapehu, and Ngaruahoe. Taranaki/Mount Egmont is not part of this activity, but may herald future activity in the Wanganui back-arc basin.
