Late Quaternary glaciation of Mt Ruapehu, North Island, New Zealand

End moraines on Mt Ruapehu record extensive late Pleistocene glaciation and a much smaller late Holocene advance, The outermost moraines were fonned in association with an ice cap and outlet glaciers, which at the recorded maximum had a combined area of about 140 km2, The equilibrium line altitude of the ice body was 1,500‐1,600 m, and the largest outlet glaciers extended downslope to approximately 1,200 m, The largest moraine systems are compound, suggesting two major glacial advances which are placed in the late Otira Glaciation.
