The Watchers By Adonai – Posted on February 26, 2013
The usual style of activity at White Island, New Zealand changed over the last weekend: the active vent began producing ash. This activity ceased on Monday, February 25, 2013 and was replaced by steam and gas explosions from the active vent. GNS volcanologist Brad Scott visited the volcano and noted in his latest report that the level of volcanic tremor has increased:
