Whakaari/White Island
is an active andesite stratovolcano situated 48 km (30 mi) from the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, in the Bay of Plenty. It is a popular tourist destination where access or visit to the island is only allowed as a member of a tour run by a registered tour operator. A small charter fleet, offering day trips and overnight or longer trips, operates from the nearby port at Whakatane. On December 9, it erupted while there were reportedly 47 visitors on the island. Reports were of about 16 fatalities and 31 injured with severe burns. Source: ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whakaari%2FWhite_Island
