The scientific consensus on the January 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption has shifted from immediate shock to a deep understanding of its long-term legacy. A major international report released in late December 2025 confirms that this was not just a volcanic event, but a "stratospheric water-bomb" that reshaped atmospheric chemistry in ways never before seen in the satellite era. The eruption injected approximately 150 million metric tons of water vapor into the stratosphere—enough to fill

A massive volcanic eruption in Tonga in 2022 was so powerful it changed atmospheric conditions worldwide for months. Important Details: • The eruption came from the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano. • It sent ash and gases over 50 km into the atmosphere. • Released an unprecedented amount of water vapor into the stratosphere. • Water vapor acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat. • Scientists observed measurable atmospheric changes for months. • Shockwaves circled Earth multiple times. • Consid

Shockwaves that were reported to be heard several thousand miles away heard in Alaska.... Permission: Jim Montgomery | Live Storm Chasers

INSANE - The violent eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai Volcano was captured by satellite that sent shockwaves that were reported to be heard several thousand miles away - was heard in Alaska. It also has triggered a Tsunami that has resulted in Advisories along the west coast of USA!🌋 | Live Storm Chasers
