Minor eruption: Whakaari White island

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Volcanic Alert Level on Whakaari White Island has been increased to 3.

What you need to know:
- The alert level at Whakaari White Island has been increased after a small eruption.
- Minor volcanic eruption was seen by a vigorous steam plume above the island on Friday morning at 8.20am.
- There are no sensors on the island, so Geonet relies on webcams and satellite imagery to assess the situation.
- GeoNet shared: “Based on our limited information there were no clear indications of ash in the plume and if there was it would be unlikely to reach the mainland under current wind conditions.”

The steam plume above the island had since reverted to more normal levels.
