In 2007 there was a small eruption referred to by geologists as a "burp".
As of my last update, there have been no reports of any deaths from the recent eruption of Mt. Ruapehu.
Mt Ruapehu is not dormant but is an 'active' volcano. It last showed 'signs of unrest' in July 2008 (as of April 2009).
I belive it last erupted in 1995. More Information: MT. Ruapehu is one of the world's most active volcanoes. The last major eruption was indeed in 1995/96. Since then there have been smaller eruptions and mud slides.
Mt. Ruapehu is located in the south end of New Zealend .
