The volcano cloud from Mount Tongariro in New Zealand's 'Lord of the Rings' park disrupts the air traffic in New Zealand. Both domestic and international flight are disrupted.
A massive plume of ash mounts up into the sky as Mount Tongariro erupts in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand on November 21, 2012.
