Smoke on the water

You probably have heard that an undersea volcano has erupted off the coast of Tonga – luckily the tsunami warning has since been cancelled, although Wellington would probably have been okay. Earlier tsunamis to hit Wellington tend to be from local earthquakes or from seismic events in South America.

Footage of the volcano (Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai) erupting off Tonga can be seen at the Guardian website. So impressive! There are also some fantastic shots here.
