White Island Volcano in NZ Active

[link to www.geonet.org.nz]

I was out this morning on the coast road from which the volcano is clearly visible. It is about 30 miles offshore. About 12.30pm a huge cloud formed over the volcano. It is probably mainly steam.. but it indicates a burst of pressure, and is quite unusual, more than I have seen for many years. May be nothing, but may indicate action on the Ring of Fire.
The volcano cams have a new picture every 10 minutes.
