Experts monitoring a supervolcano that is responsible for the biggest eruption recorded in the past 5,000 years have upped the level of alert.
Scientists have reported changes in activity at the Taupō volcano, located in New Zealand, which hasn’t covered the nation’s north island in lava and ash for nearly 1,800 years.
The alert level has officially been raised from 0 to 1 - out of six - for the first time since experts began using the measuring system back in 1994.
