"Whakaari/White Island" is an active volcano, situated 48 km (30 mi) from the east coast of the North Island ofNew Zealand, in the Bay of Plenty. It is New Zealand’s most active cone volcano, and has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 150,000 years.[1] The nearest mainland towns are Whakatane and Tauranga. White Island has been in a near continuous stage of smoking since it was discovered by James Cook in 1769. No smoke today!!!!!
