A series of small volcanic earthquakes rumbled beneath Mt Ruapehu at the weekend.
GNS Science says the larger events at the start of the quakes were approximately magnitude 1.5 and with later, smaller events were too small to be located by its earthquake detection-location system.
"The seismic recordings indicate a source beneath the summit area, which is normal for
volcanic earthquakes and volcanic tremor at Ruapehu," a GNS spokesman said.
"The sequence now appears to be over."
The Volcanic Alert Level remains at 1, reflecting the current level of volcanic activity, the spokesman said. The Aviation Colour Code remains Green.
