Volcanic eruption in NZ

[Anomalocaris]

This is actually a tiny, almost negligible eruption for any volcano, and White Island is actually a fairly large stratocone volcano. But it doesn’t matter if you are foolish enough to stand not near the crater, but in the middle of the crater.

Attaboy. Six dead, thirty badly burned, eight still missing, but let's focus on the size of the eruption.  That makes sense.

How sad for everyone affected.

As a metric of just how bad this was, NZ has ordered almost 1300 square feet of human skin for grafts.

I've lived on or near three shield volcanoes, Fuji, Etna, and Pinatubo. Fuji was extinct, Etna a grumbling old man, and Pinatubo, an utter bitch.

I once ate one of these



Didn't half put me off sweets for a year.  Other than that, my experience with volcanoes is limited.
