The Dom Harvey Podcast
White Island Survivor: Inside NZ's Worst-Ever Volcanic Disaster
1h 34m
Kelsey Waghorn is a Whakaari/White Island survivor and former guide who suffered severe burns and has undergone ongoing surgeries and rehab.
This chat paints a detailed picture of who she was before December 9, 2019, what happened during the eruption and how the years since have looked.

I loved spending time with Kelsey Waghorn and I have no doubt you will as well.
