WELLINGTON, New Zealand Mar 17, 2006 (AP)— An erupting volcano forced a conservation team to abandon a missing colleague on a South Pacific island Friday as they fled spewing ash, steam and mud.

The last known eruption on Raoul Island, about 625 miles northeast of the New Zealand city of Auckland, was on Nov. 21, 1964, from a vent close to Green Lake. There were no casualties.
