<span style="color: #222222;">New Zealand police have completed the identification of the 18 victims of the White Island volcano, more than a week after it erupted.<br />''<br />''The names and nationalities of 17 people have been released, but one person who died in an Australian hospital was not publicly named. Two of those named are still missing.<br />''<br />''They are presumed to be dead near the island. Poor weather has forced police to postpone the search for them.<br />''<br />''There were 47 people on the island when the eruption took place last Monday. About 20 people still remain in intensive care with severe burns, including a 19-year-old, the only member of his family who is thought to have survived.</span>
