Mount Tarawera is the volcano responsible for one of New Zealand's largest historic eruptions. Located 24 km southeast of Rotorua in the North Island, it consists of a series of rhyolitic lava domes that were fissured down the middle by an explosive basaltic eruption in 1886. These fissures run for about 17 km northeast-southwest. The volcano's component domes include Ruawahia Dome (the highest at 1111 m), Tarawera Dome and Wahanga Dome.
