The Isle of Wight, located in Shengfeng Bay, North Island, New Zealand, is a famous tourist attraction in New Zealand. Its volcano is active for a long time, often erupting smoke and gas, with high surface temperature and strange landscape. People can visit the volcanic island by boat or helicopter.
The Isle of Wight volcano has erupted many times in history. In recent months, scientists from the New Zealand Institute of Geographical Sciences have repeatedly warned that the Isle of Wight volcano has obvious signs of recent eruption.
With some videos and pictures posted on social media, the safety of tourists in the Isle of Wight has touched people's hearts.
A live video shows that just before the volcanic eruption, a group of tourists arrived at the crater and walked around it. A few minutes later, the volcano erupted, the camera suddenly turned black and the live broadcast was interrupted.
The video shot by tourist Michael Shedd shows that heavy volcanic ash surrounded the Isle of Wight, and many helicopters were seriously damaged by volcanic ash. Shed said that he and his family went down the mountain 20 minutes before the eruption, and when they were ready to leave by boat, they were surprised to see the eruption scene.
Brad Scott, an expert at the New Zealand Institute of Geology and Nuclear Science, said that the intensity of the volcanic eruption was not small, and the volcanic ash column rushed to a height of 3,660 meters.
The New Zealand authorities dispatched a number of helicopters and ships and began to transfer tourists to outlying islands. However, John Tiems, a local official, said later in the day that as the volcanic eruption continued, "police and rescuers could not travel safely to the Isle of Wight" and the progress of rescue was hindered. At present, 23 people have been rescued, including many wounded, but many people are still "stranded on the island and their whereabouts are unknown".
In recent months, the New Zealand Institute of Geology and Nuclear Science has repeatedly warned that the Isle of Wight volcano may erupt in the near future. Some people questioned why there were still dozens or even hundreds of tourists on the volcanic island at the time of the incident.
