Five people are dead, dozens more are injured or still missing after a volcano erupted near a group of tourists off the coast of New Zealand - as authorities say it's too dangerous to search for survivors.

Whakaari also known as White Island, located 48km (29mi) off New Zealand's North Island, erupted around 2.11pm local time on Monday blowing huge plumes of smoke and debris 3,657m (12,000ft) into the sky.
A group of tourists had been deep inside the crater just moments before the blast while others on a boat to the island were forced to seek cover as thick, black smoked billowed towards them.
Tourist Michael Schade said he and his family were on the volcano just 20 minutes before it erupted and witnessed the blast as they were leaving the island
It is believed fewer than 50 people were on the island at the time of eruption and 23 have been evacuated and brought to the mainland on stretchers covered in ash.
National Operation Commander Deputy Commissioner John Tims confirmed five people are dead and multiple have been taken to hospital with burns, with the death toll expected to rise.
The White Island Tour operators are seen during the rescue operation about 12 to 14 minutes after the eruption

'I can confirm there are five people now deceased from the eruption on White Island,' Mr Tims told reporters on Monday evening.
'A number of other people have been taken to a hospital. The number of people have burns as a result of the eruption. It is still too early for police to confirm how many people are involved.'
'There are possibilities of further eruptions. The physical environment is unsafe for us to return to the island. It is important that we consider the health and safety of those that are going to rescue those on the island. So we will be taking that advice,' Mr Tims said.
