WELLINGTON: An offshore New Zealand volcano erupted on Monday, injuring tourists and sending a large plume of white smoke and ash into the air.
She could not confirm whether there are any fatalities. The island, which is about 48km off the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, erupted at about 2.10pm local time, government agency GeoNet said.“This is evolving. At this stage obviously it does appear to be a very significant issue, particularly the scale of those affected.”
Many of the people visiting White Island are understood to be from the cruise ship Ovation of the Seas, which was berthed at the Port of Tauranga this morning, the New Zealand Herald reported.
