Mt Ruapehu warning
7:00AM Saturday May 03, 2008

Mt Ruapehu is showing signs it could erupt without warning, prompting a warning to climbers of the volcano's heightened risk.

Readings from the lake have shown a heightened magma input, and readings from the air above the lake showed an increase in released volcanic gas.

Department of Conservation scientist Dr Harry Keys told the Weekend Herald yesterday several months of volcanic information had lead scientists to say "hang on, something unusual is happening".

Mt. Ruapehu is an active strato volcanoe that has been erupting on a fairly regular basis for the last 250,000 years. The last eruption was in 2007. This volcanoe typically releases steam and ash. There is an acidic lake in the crater of the volcanoe and the primary concern from eruptions are Lahars. These are debris flows caused by the eruption and winter time eruptions can create more severe Lahars from rapid snowmelt near the crater.

Historically, this volcanoe does not experience the cataclysmic explosive eruptions like Mt. St. Helens here in Washington state. Mt Hood has a similar history as Mt. Ruapehu in that it`s regular eruption cycles tend to create ash and mud flows along with Lahars.
