Previously unseen footage has come to light revealing the beginning of the deadly eruption on White island.
Cellphone video taken by one of the 21 people who died after the eruption on December 9 last year shows smoke billowing from the volcano off Whakatāne - then a panicked scramble to escape.
The footage on Australia's 60 minutes programme reveals a guide announcing the crater tour will be cut short because of the imminent risk.
