No conspiracy angle or need for panic here folks but it is definitely newsworthy in my opinion.

no - that was the last recorded erruption of Tongariro

Mt Ruapehu has had many erruptions in the last 100 years - the worst loss of life occuring in 1953 as a result of the crater lake from the 1945 erruption bursting, and causing the Tangiwai disaster - my mother lived in Ohakune at the time & used to swim in the crater lake & remembers the disaster.

White Island is also volcanically active.

Threat has now passed.....for now
