A survivor of the White Island volcano disaster says she wishes she could go back in time and make the most of the “precious time” she had with her family.

Almost one year after the tragedy that claimed the life of her dad and sister, Stephanie Browitt, 24, posted on Instagram saying “it’s been extremely hard and painful to look back at these knowing we had no idea what was to come”.
