Summary
[edit]DescriptionHunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano erupts in the Tonga Archipelago (Copernicus).jpg |
English: On 15 January 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai underwater volcano erupted in the Archipelago of Tonga. According to scientists from the University of Auckland, the eruption was the most powerful recorded on Earth in the last 30 years. These images, produced using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite acquired on 2 January 2022 (left) and Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite from 15 January 2022 (right), illustrate the consequences of the disastrous eruption which occurred on the island. In the left image (the latest cloudless image acquired before the eruption), the volcanic island is clearly visible, whereas in the right image (acquired ~12 hours after the explosion) only two small fragments of the island remain visible. The eruption is the object of an activation of the Rapid Mapping Component of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. |
