Recent underwater surveys of Tonga’s Hunga volcano have unveiled the extent of its collapse during the devastating eruption in 2022. Investigators discovered that the volcano's central caldera descended by over 1 kilometer, resulting in the displacement of approximately 8.9 ± 0.1 cubic kilometers of material. This collapse transpired during the peak of the eruption and played a significant role in creating severe tsunami risks, generating a large stratospheric eruption plume, and damaging underwater communication cables. These results offer valuable insights into how underwater volcanic collapses can lead to various hazards, assisting scientists in better assessing the risks associated with future marine eruptions.

00:00A new study has revealed the scale of Hunga Volcano's collapse in Tonga.
00:04The collapse happened during the volcano's catastrophic eruption in January 2022.
00:10Scientists used seafloor mapping to compare the volcano before and after the eruption.
00:15They found the center of the volcano collapsed by more than one kilometer.
00:19Around 8.9 cubic kilometers of material was displaced during the collapse.
00:24Researchers say the collapse occurred during the eruption's most intense phase.
00:29It triggered extreme tsunami hazards across the surrounding ocean.
00:32The eruption also produced a massive plume that reached the stratosphere.
00:37Underwater cables were also broken during the event.
00:40The findings show how submarine volcanic eruptions can create multiple hazards at once.
00:46Scientists say detailed seafloor surveys can help improve understanding of these powerful events.
00:51The research provides new insight into the risks posed by future submarine volcanic eruptions.
