Unfortunately they are probably extra crispy by now.

Barham said she was “livid” over the fact that people were allowed to visit to the volcano.

From a Guardian article on the eruption:

Academics have questioned the suitability of White Island, New Zealand’s most active cone volcano, as a tourist destination, saying it “was a disaster waiting to happen”.

Hopefully the US embassy (and other embassies) or the Red Cross will help to determine who is in the hospital and who is still missing.

A hospital representative later called Barham while Lauren was in surgery. The new bride has severe burns on her lower extremities, covering at least 20 per cent of her body. She's recovering at an Auckland hospital.

Matthew was airlifted to a hospital in Christchurch for treatment of burns that cover about 80 per cent of his body, Barham said as she was preparing to fly out of Dulles International Airport on Monday night.

Matthew's mum is making arrangements to see her son by week's end, Barham said.
