NZ volcanologist heads for erupting Vanuatu volcano
New Zealand volcanologist Brad Scott is one of a few heading out to Vanuatu later today as the Manaro volcano continues to rumble. Eruptions from the volcano on the island of Ambae have prompted a compulsory evacuation order for thousands of people. The Manaro volcano has a history of violent activity and Vanuatu's government is warning of flying rocks, volcanic gas, acid rain and ash falls on the island of Ambae. Mr Scott joins us now.
