White Island | 10 Dec 2019

A volcanic eruption took place at White Island in New Zealand.

White Island is New Zealand’s most active cone volcano which has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 1,50,000 years.
About 70% of the volcano lies under the sea and the Island forms the tip of the volcano.
The volcano is located in the Bay of Plenty, about 48km (29 miles) from the east coast of New Zealand's North Island.
Including its underwater base, White Island is the largest volcanic structure in New Zealand.
The island became a private scenic reserve in 1953.
The island is also known by name Whakaari.
