A New Zealand volcano erupted with a brief blast of ash Wednesday, leading to canceled flights but causing no significant damage. Schoolchildren and dozens of other hikers who were walking along the mountain's base were safe.
The eruption of Mount Tongariro, its second in less than four months, sent a dark ash plume about 3 kilometers into the sky. Authorities issued a no-fly alert above the mountain located in the sparsely populated area of central North Island. Air New Zealand said some flights could be delayed or canceled.
