In new satellite images from satellites operated by Maxar Technologies, you can see the devastation left behind by the eruption. While the damage is visible in these images of Tonga, which is made up of 170 different islands, the eruption has also had a serious impact on Australia and New Zealand. In addition to plumes of ash coming from the volcano, it also sparked tsunami waves that stretched even as far as Los Angeles in the U.S.
In these satellite images from Maxar, you can see an overview of the volcano from before, during and after the eruption. Plumes of smoke and ash cloud the view of the island, growing and billowing out during the eruption.
