2022 Tonga Disaster Relief Fund
About
On January 15, 2022, the eruption of an underwater volcano near Tonga on Saturday was likely the biggest recorded anywhere on the planet in more than 30 years.
The eruption caused a huge plume of ash, gas and steam was spewed up to 20 kilometers into the atmosphere, and tsunami waves were sent crashing across the Pacific. Both the eruption and subsequent tsunami caused significant damage along the western coast of the main island of Tongatapu.
