Scientists say Mt Ruapehu could still erupt without warning as volcanic activity continues at the crater lake. GNS say there has been some minor volcanic tremor recorded at Mt Ruapehu’s crater lake where the temperature has risen to 30°C. Volcanologist Brad Scott said data indicates the lake is returning to a more “typical” state.
“However the volcano remains in unrest and eruptions could still occur with no warning,” he said. The latest data follows an eruption on neighbouring Mt Tongariro in November last year which threw an ash cloud three kilometres into the sky. Scientists said they were not sure whether activity at both volcanoes was linked. The Volcanic Alert Level for Ruapehu remains at Level 1, indicating signs of unrest. Mt Ruapehu last erupted without warning in 2007. The eruption lasted for seven minutes and caused two lahars, one of which spilled over onto the Whakapapa Skifield.
