On January 17, local time, Tonga, aerial photos provided by the New Zealand Defence Force showed that the coastal area of Tonga was damaged, and volcanic ash covered buildings and vegetation.
On the 14th and 15th local time, the submarine volcano on the Aha Apay Island in Tonga Hong erupted violently for two consecutive times and triggered a tsunami, and many countries around the Pacific issued a tsunami warning.
Some experts believe that this may be one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions of the 21st century.
