(251110) -- WELLINGTON, Nov. 10, 2025 (Xinhua) -- An aerial photo taken on Nov. 9, 2025 shows smoke rising from a forest fire site at Tongariro National Park in New Zealand. The forest fire in New Zealand's Tongariro National Park continued to blaze on Monday, with the fire size likely to have increased from the estimated 2,500 hectares, said Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

Conditions are misty in the Tongariro National Park on Monday morning, which has helped limit the growth of the fire overnight. However, all aircraft are grounded because of the mist. (Fire and Emergency New Zealand/Handout via Xinhua)
