Mount Ruapehu About To Erupt?

Will quote the article,

Mount Ruapehu is currently experiencing a sustained period of high water temperatures in the Crater Lake (currently about 38 – 39 °C). In recent weeks changes have also occurred in volcanic gas output, seismic activity and Crater Lake water chemistry. These changes show that Ruapehu is experiencing signs of elevated unrest above known background levels, hence the Aviation Colour Code is being raised to Yellow. The Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 1 (signs of volcanic unrest).

Well we might have another volcano about to erupt here soon. I give it a couple of weeks and we should see further updates on Mount Ruapehus activity.

Till the next article this is WeThePeople.
