Incredible satellite video of volcanic eruption on Tongan island

2022-01-17 00:00:00

The volcanic eruption of the uninhabited Tongan island of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai on January 15 was so massive that you can easily see it in a satellite video of the whole earth.

YouTuber Scott Manley has a good video about the eruption, which created tsunamis and a massive soundwave blast around the world. New Zealanders 3,000 kilometers away could hear it and some claimed they heard it in Alaska.
