Magma may have been present in this week's eruption on Mt Tongariro in New Zealand, but there's no indication a much bigger eruption is on the way. Scientists are continuing to monitor Mt Tongariro, which erupted on Monday for the first time in more than a century and a separate eruption on White Island, the first since 2001. GNS Science vulcanologist Nico Fournuer says the discovery there's a bit more magma in edifices on Mt Tongariro increased the likelihood of a more magmatic eruption but it's too early to suggest there may be more eruptions. Scientists believe the small-scale eruption, which appeared to have abated by Tuesday morning, was driven by steam rather than molten rock. Photo: Supplied |
