Five people were confirmed dead and eighteen others injured, with many more missing, after a volcano erupted on Monday afternoon while dozens of cruise ship passengers were exploring White Island, a small, picturesque, uninhabited island of the coast of New Zealand.
“Police believe that anyone who could have been taken from the island alive was rescued at the time of the evacuation,” police said in a statement. “Based on the information we have, we do not believe there are any survivors on the island.”
