Tongan geologists watched a massive plume of ash rise in the sky during a continuous eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on Jan. 14.

On Saturday, Jan. 15, a further volcanic eruption triggered tsunami alerts for several Pacific nations, Australia, New Zealand and on the Pacific coastlines of Japan and the U.S.
