Mt Taranaki eruption 'could spew ash over Auckland'

Auckland could be suffocated with a layer of ash next time Mt Taranaki erupts, which could be relatively soon, say scientists.
Researchers at the Auckland University school of geography, geology and environment science are studying layers of sediment taken from Lake Pupuke on the city's North Shore.
Dr Phil Shane said Aucklanders might think they were safe from far-away volcanoes.
But ash from Lake Pupuke showed the city had been affected by eruptions from Mt Taranaki and farther afield.
Researchers had so far taken core samples from as far as 18m below the lake floor, giving them an insight into the past 50,000 years of volcanic eruptions.
