Small, muddy and geyser-like explosions are happening in the active crater at White Island this morning.
GNS Science posted an update saying the burst came as a result of the rising crater lake drowning active vents at Whakaari/White Island.
The geysering posed no risk to visitors and the Volcanic Alert Level remained at
Level 1.
Over the last three weeks, small-scale geyser-like explosions of mud and steam were observed in the active vent area, reaching a maximum height of about 10m.
