White Island smokin'....?
Just Google Earthed White Island, and it's showing a big plume
Has something happened, or could someone tell me when was the last smoking session?

Re: White Island smokin'....?
We visited last year, and although it's active, it wasn't smoking.
We saw a change in GE when my house (evenually) reflected the change of my car, so some bits must get updated.

I thought it was steam - ie tide goes down, hot rocks exposed, tide comes up - lots of steam created. Could be wrong though.
