New Zealand is planning retrieval of bodies on volcanic island
New Zealand police said late Thursday the recovery attempt will go ahead even though scientists believe another eruption is possible on White Island.from its active vents and volcanic tremors are rising, volcanologists said.
The continuing volcanic activity has delayed the recovery of the last victims since Monday’s deadly eruption, which occurred as 47 tourists were exploring the island. In addition to the bodies left on the island, eight other people were killed and dozens were severely burned by the blast of scalding steam and ash.
New Zealand medical staff were working around the clock to treat the injured survivors in hospital burn units. A patient with that amount of burned skin doesn’t have enough of their own healthy skin to transplant onto the wounded area, he explained. Additionally, in patients with an infection, creating a new wound to transfer their own skin is too risky, Paniatowski said.
