New Zealand police say they have completed the identification of the 18 victims of the White Island volcano eruption, more than a week after the deadly incident.
The names and nationalities of 17 people have been released, but one person who died in an Australian hospital was not publicly named.
Two of those named are still missing – presumed to be dead near the island.

There were 47 people on the island when the eruption took place last Monday.
About 20 people still remain in intensive care with severe burns, including 19-year-old Jesse Langford, the only member of his family who is thought to have survived.
