Divers try to recover last NZ volcano victims

WHAKATANE, New Zealand: Police divers working in near zero visibility in contaminated waters around New Zealand’s volcanic White Island tried on Saturday to find the remaining two victims of an eruption that left at least 16 dead and dozens severely burned.

Ash and other fallout from Monday’s eruption has made the sea near the island toxic and divers have to be washed clean after every completed dive. Police Deputy Commissioner John Tims called search conditions “unique and challenging.”
