The New Zealand High Commission recently returned to Hunga to see what had become of Tonga's newest island, which formed between Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai islands following an underwater volcanic eruption in January 2015. Experts said the new island would probably exist only a few months until ocean waves wore it down. Take a look at what we found.

Footage of the January 15, 2022, Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai underwater volcano eruption💥, depicting a massive ash plume rising 58 km high and shockwaves rippling across the Pacific Ocean, emphasizing its reality amid AI deepfake concerns. This VEI-5 event released energy equivalent to 61 megatons of TNT—four times the 1883 Krakatoa blast💥—triggering tsunamis🌊 that killed four in Tonga and sent waves across the globe, according to USGS data. | House of Rothschilds

NEW: Researchers discover the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano triggered atmospheric gravity waves that reached the edge of space. The waves reverberated around the planet at least six times and reached close to their theoretical maximum speeds – at 320m per second or 720mph. The study also confirmed the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai submarine volcano in January 2022 was one of the most explosive volcanic events of the modern era.

The Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai is a volcanic island in Tonga that was effectively erased by the massive underwater eruption in January 2022. Formation and destruction: The island initially formed in 2014–2015 from volcanic activity. However, the catastrophic eruption on January 15, 2022, obliterated much of the island — satellite radar data revealed that most of the land had vanished, leaving only remnants of the original structures. #geology #geologyfeatures #geologist #geologywonders | Geology

The scientific consensus on the January 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption has shifted from immediate shock to a deep understanding of its long-term legacy. A major international report released in late December 2025 confirms that this was not just a volcanic event, but a "stratospheric water-bomb" that reshaped atmospheric chemistry in ways never before seen in the satellite era. The eruption injected approximately 150 million metric tons of water vapor into the stratosphere—enough to fill
