The recovery mission will go ahead despite the risk of another eruption, police said.

"Today is less safe than yesterday, and the day before that," volcanologist Dr Graham Leonard said.

At least eight people are thought to be on the island following the eruption on Monday. All are presumed dead.

Police said they were planning a "high-speed recovery" of the bodies.
