Summary
[edit]DescriptionScars from the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano eruption in Kanokupolu (Copernicus).jpg |
English: Three days after the disastrous eruption of the Hunga-Tonga Hunga'apai volcano, the Tonga archipelago remains isolated. The ashfall on the neighbouring islands is hindering the landing of aircraft carrying relief material from New Zealand. Two casualties have been reported, but with limited communications, it is feared that the final toll may be higher. Some of Tonga's small outlying islands have suffered substantial damage. The consequences of the eruption, the tsunami, the shockwave, the pyroclastic flow and the ashfall have caused widespread damage. The impact on Kanokupolu, on Tongatapu island, can be seen when comparing Copernicus Sentinel-2 images acquired on 8 December 2021 (before the event) and 17 January 2022 (after the event). The consequences of the eruption are being monitored by the Rapid Mapping component of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. |
