Mapping of Tongan island Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai
High resolution submarine topographical mapping of Tongan island Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai showing that it is part of the larger Hunga caldera. Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai formed in 2015 after an eruption of the submarine volcano called Hunga Tonga in 2014. Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai was destroyed by a powerful eruption of Hunga Tunga volcano on the 15th of January 2022. This eruption was the largest eruption of the 21st century to date and caused Pacific-wide tsunamis.
