The divers are still at work on White Island to look for the last two bodies of the victims of the volcano eruption that occurred last Monday, after the discovery of six others. The volcano exploded on Monday, while 47 people were visiting the island. The bodies of eight victims were soon identified, while eight others had been reported missing. Twenty tourists remain in intensive care with severe burns. The recovery of bodies from White Island, also known by its Maori name of Whakaari, has been repeatedly postponed due to the presence of poison gas and other volcanic activities. Today's intervention was finally launched despite the risk of another eruption. The six bodies found were recovered in four hours and taken away by helicopter. GeoNet, the information site on the geological dangers of New Zealand, predicted another eruption today, with a 50-60% probability.
