Tsunamis and shockwaves hit continents on the other side of the Pacific. The Hunga-Tonga Hunga-Ha'apai (HT-HH) volcano was like a massive shotgun blast from the deep, generating the biggest atmospheric explosion recorded on Earth in more than 100 years. • __ • Funded by The Nippon Foundation, NIWA and SEA-KIT surveyed over 22,000km2 surrounding the volcano, including mapping 14,000km2 of previously unmapped seafloor as part of The Nippon Foundation GEBCO Seabed 2030 project • New Zealand's National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) has discovered that almost 10km3 of seafloor was displaced – the equivalent to 2.6 million Olympic-sized swimming pools and a third more than initial estimates – with two thirds coming from the summit and the rest from the surrounding flanks. • __ • Learn more about the survey and the The Nippon Foundation GEBCO Seabed 2030 project: https://niwa.co.nz/news/tonga-eruptio... • Visit our Instagram: / niwa_science • Tweet us on Twitter: / niwa_nz • Find us on Facebook: / nzniwa • Climate science, ocean science, freshwater science – we do it all.
