The Centre of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation recommended that a 7 km (4.3 mi) radius around the volcano be evacuated. [75] Seven villages were affected by the eruption. [76] A larger eruption occurred on 7 November. [77] On 8 November, the volcano erupted several times, one bearing an ash plume with a height reaching 10 km (6.2 mi ...

Prior to this eruption the peak had not even been recognized as a volcano. Over 3,000 people were killed, and it has become a benchmark for studying large Peléan eruptions. [37] Mount Sinabung, Indonesia. History of its eruptions since 2013 are showing the volcano emits pyroclastic flows with frequent collapses of its lava domes. [38] [39]
The explosion was so huge that it penetrated through the overlying seawater and triggered the tsunami. [ 85 ] Importantly, the atmospheric waves caused by the explosion coupled to the ocean, generating additional tsunamis at large distances from the volcano; volcanic tsunamis normally do not reach far from the edifice. [ 86 ]
The volcano rises around 2,000 m from the seafloor and has a caldera which – on the eve of the 2022 eruption – was roughly 150 m below sea level and 4 km at its widest extent. [7] The only major above-water part of the volcano are the twin uninhabited islands [ 8 ] of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Haʻapai, which are respectively part of the ...

[26]It was initially believed that there were about 100 tourists on or near the island when the eruption took place; later, this figure was revised to 47 people who were on the island at the time. [27]
Seismographs were set up and began monitoring the volcano for earthquakes. In late May, the number of seismic events under the volcano fluctuated from day-to-day. Beginning June 6, a swarm of progressively shallower earthquakes accompanied by inflationary tilt on the upper east flank of the mountain, culminated in the extrusion of a small lava ...
