Fears of another eruption at the New Zealand volcano make it too dangerous for emergency teams to recover bodies – police

"Every day that passes with those bodies unrecovered is a day of anguish for their loved ones ... but right now, the science tells us that the risk is just too high," Civil Defence emergency director Sarah Stuart-Black said. Police Minister Stuart Nash said some injuries were so severe that victims could not identify themselves.
A coronial process has begun to identify the six confirmed dead but police said it "can take some time".Seismologists have predicted there is a 40 to 60 percent chance of another eruption on the island, which sits semi-submerged 50 kilometres out to sea. With the weather expected to deteriorate on Thursday, the pressure is building to begin the recovery operation.
