Volcano Cameras and Seismographs

Cameras watch New Zealand's active volcanoes, whilst seismographs record their shaking.

Choose any triangular point for that volcano's own camera page.

Remote cameras are an important aid to our volcanologists. They allow them to quickly assess the status of the volcanoes, especially if they have recently recorded unusual seismic events or there have been reports of eruptions. A set of images from the last twenty-four hours may be displayed for each camera site by clicking on the volcano links at the right-hand side of this page. Larger versions of the latest seismograph recordings may be displayed by clicking on the thumbnail seismic drums.
