The volcanic island Whakaari/White Island in Bay of Plenty region explosively erupted in December 2019. Fifteen people were killed and a further thirty suffered injuries.
About:
Whakaari/White Island (also known as just White Island) is an active andesite stratovolcano situated in the New Zealand's northeastern Bay of Plenty.
It is New Zealand's most active cone volcano. Whakaari erupted continually from December 1975 until September 2000, marking the world's longest historic eruption episode.
in the recent 2019 eruption, experts identified the event as a phreatic eruption: a release of steam and volcanic gases that caused an explosion, launching rock and ash into the air.
