"The eruption occured about 8.15pm.

The Desert Road and National Park road have both been closed.

GNS Science Duty volcanologist Craig Miller told Radio NZ the eruption was unexpected, a "blue sky eruption".

He said there was no warning before the eruption and the crater lake was cold. "

Which just goes to show; you can't predict what Mother N has up her sleeve.
