Off the top of my head, there is the central North Island group of three, Ruapehu, Tongariro, and Ngaruahoe. Just off the coast in the Bay of Plenty are White Island, and Mayor Island. White island is continuously active. Taranaki in the North Island last erupted about 800 years ago I believe. And in the Rotorua region, there was a dreadful volcanic eruption in the 1800s. There are no active or recently active volcanoes in the South Island, but many extinct ones. And in the Ross Territory of Antarctica is that continent's only active volcano, Mt Erebus.
