Data shows clusters of small earthquakes on Mt Ruapehu

Mount Ruapehu has got a wobble on, with seismic data showing unusual clusters of small earthquakes on the mountain.

The movement started in early March and was initially so small it was hard to pick up.

But on some day there's up to six shakes and they can go on and on.
