Tonga's Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano spewed an unprecedented amount of water vapor into the atmosphere.
, could temporarily affect Earth's global average temperature.
This satellite image shows an intact Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai in April 2015, years before an explosive underwater volcanic eruption obliterated most of the Polynesian island in January 2022."We had to carefully inspect all the measurements in the plume to make sure they were trustworthy," said Millán.
