Answer:

Whakaari or White Island of New Zealand

Step-by-step explanation:

The Whakaari/White Island is located in the northeastern part of New Zealand which erupted violently on the 9th of December, 2019. This island was an andesitic type of strato-volcano, that resulted in the eruption of volcanic rocks and ashes, along with some volcanic gases, that caused many difficulties in the recovery. According to the data collected, it was determined that there were about 47 people on the island, of which 19 were killed.
