The White Island volcano was a 'disaster waiting to happen,' and tour groups never should have been allowed on the island, a leading volcano expert says.liammannix

Alternatively, the crater lake that sits atop the volcano may have fractured, exposing magma within the volcano to water, leading to an eruption.

There had been signs over the past few months pressure inside the volcano had been building, said Associate Professor Derek Wyman, a volcanologist at the University of Sydney. However, volcanos – even closely monitored ones - are extremely unpredictable. Monitoring earthquakes and external changes to the volcano can only tell you so much about what is happening inside.
