Abstract A major phreatic eruption occurred in Ruapehu Crater Lake, North Island, New Zealand, at 1975 April 24d, 03h 59m, N.Z.S.T. Only nine minutes of volcanic-seismic activity preceded the eruption, but crater dilation had been measured by a geodetic survey two weeks earlier. Bad weather prevented observation of the eruption. At least 1· 6 + 106 m3 of Crater Lake water and lake floor deposits were ejected, final lake level falling by more than 8 m. Hot ballistic ejecta fell up to 1· 6 km upwind from the vent; fine ash fell from a narrow plume extending at least 115 km to south-east. Major floods passed down river valleys draining Ruapehu summit, damaging ski installations, bridges, and hydro-electric power scheme constructions. Because of the time of the eruption, no loss of life occurred. Solid ejecta consisted largely of lake floor deposits, some thermally metamorphosed to sanidinite facies (> 750°c) mineral assemblages, plus minor scoriaceous lava blocks. Steam production by self-sustained reaction ...
