White Island was a tourist attraction where people could get close to volcanic activity. Visitors arrived by boat or helicopter with operators such as White Island Tours. On December 9, 2019 the volcano erupted killing 22 people and a further 25 suffered serious burns. While most victims had arrived by boat, AS350 ZK-HPB, was wrecked by the blast and has been abandoned. Bob Kerr photo This photo was added on 20 September 2024, and has since been viewed 237 times. |
