Description:An extraordinarily powerful, explosive eruption occurred from Hunga volcano in the Tonga island arc on 15 January 2022 and generated an eruption column 58 km high. The explosive eruption also generated atmospheric gravity waves, extreme runup tsunamis and quite unusual and destructive meteotsunamis. Together these place this VEI 6 eruption as, globally, one of the largest of the past 300 years.
