The Active Volcano in Tonga; Tofua

The recent highly explosive eruption of Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai has brought additional attention to other volcanoes in the nation of Tonga. One of these other volcanoes is in fact erupting right now and has been erupting ever since October 2nd of 2015. The volcano I am referring to is known as Tofua, which produced two geologically recent eruptions an order of magnitude larger than what the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano produced on January 15th. This video will discuss this lush island volcano and discuss just how recently its last major explosive eruption occurred.
