Mount Taranaki, also known as Mount Egmont, is a dormant stratovolcano located in the Taranaki region on New Zealand's North Island. Standing at 2,518 meters, it's the second highest peak on the island after Mount Ruapehu. The mountain has a rich Māori heritage and was named after Rua Taranaki, an ancestor of the local iwi. With its stunning beauty and unique geology, Mount Taranaki is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts looking to explore its rugged terrain and breathtaking views.
