Volcanic Eruption
Tonga’s largest island, Tongatapu, was struck by tsunamis on Saturday, January 15, due to an underwater volcano erupting in the South Pacific. The tsunamis also affected Hawaii and Japan.
As per the news reported by CNN, the eruptions emitted a plume of ash, gas, and steam that rose 20 kilometers into the atmosphere. As a result of the eruption, satellite imagery revealed a large ash cloud and shockwaves.
The capital of Tonga, Nuku’alofa, was inundated with ash on Saturday evening, and phone services were down.
CNN also reported that Japan’s Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for the country’s coastal districts early Sunday morning, with waves reaching up to 2.7 meters in the northeastern region of Iwate, and numerous minor tsunamis have been reported in a variety of other locales.
The meteorological agency reported all tsunami warnings were lifted by Sunday afternoon. Officials of the weather agency ruled out more tsunamis across the country, but noted tidal fluctuations.
