Heavy rain has hampered search efforts around Whakaari White Island today
17 December 2019
It's prevented a shoreline search by boat for the two remaining missing people - and an earlier search by the Eagle helicopter.
The Eagle did manage to search Taungawaka Bay this afternoon.
Police say they'll continue to focus on areas ranging from the island through to the East Cape, based on tidal patterns and as the weather allows.
