Remote cameras are an important aid to our volcanologists. They allow them to quickly assess the status of the volcanoes, especially if they have recently recorded unusual seismic events or there have been reports of eruptions. A set of images from the last twenty-four hours may be displayed for each camera site by clicking on the volcano links at the left-hand side of this page.

The images to the right of the volcano pictures are thumbnails of the latest seismograph recordings for that volcano. Larger versions of these may be displayed directly by clicking on the thumbnail seismic drums shown above, or by clicking on the volcano links at the left-hand side of this page.

Volcano alert bulletins are issued whenever there is a significant change in volcanic activity in New Zealand.

The images from the cameras are made possible with the support of the following organisations:

Environment Bay of Plenty
Heli Pro (New Zealand)
Mountain Air
PeeJay Charters
Taranaki Regional Council
Volcanic Air Safaris
Vulcan Helicopters
White Island Trust
