White Island volcano (New Zealand): elevated activity, risk of further eruptions remains high

The activity at the volcano remains elevated, with high levels of volcanic tremor indicating internal fluid movements and instability. However, no further eruptions have occurred since the fatal one on Monday 9 Dec.
According to Geonet, who monitor the volcano closely, "there is a medium likelihood (50-60%) of future eruptive activity in the next 24 hours. The Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 2."

The following is the official information from the latest update published by Geonet a few hours ago: ( [link to www.geonet.org.nz (secure)]

"Since the eruption on Monday, there has been no further eruptive activity. In the last few hours, volcanic tremor has decreased but it is still very high compared to normal levels. Vigorous steam and mud bursts continue from the active vent area.
The combined interpretation of our data is that magma is degassing at shallow depths and the situation remains highly volatile.
Another gas flight was completed today, and the data is currently being analysed to support our ongoing understanding of the volcano.
There is still a medium likelihood (50-60%) of eruptive activity in the next 24 hours. We have updated the eruption probability table.
There is an extremely low likelihood of any potential ash affecting the mainland, but people may smell gas, depending on the prevailing wind direction."
