Manawatū-Whanganui is located in the south of the North Island of the country. It incorporates the busy towns of Whanganui and Palmerston North. The region is also home to at least four large volcanoes, including Mount Ruapehu, which is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, having last erupted in 1996. The other popular volcanoes include Ngauruhoe and Tongariro.
