An underwater volcano off Tonga erupted on Jan. 15, triggering tsunami warnings and evacuation orders in Japan and causing large waves in several South Pacific islands, where footage on social media showed waves crashing into coastal homes.
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai lies about 65 km (40 miles) north of Nuku’alofa, the capital of Tonga. Scientists said the volcano – which last erupted in 2014 – had been puffing away for about a month before rising magma, superheated to around 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 Fahrenheit), met with 20 degree (68 Fahrenheit) seawater on Saturday, causing an instantaneous and massive explosion.
