The small island nation's communications were cut off after the volcanic eruption.
After new images showed the aftermath of Saturday's volcanic eruption, a thick layer of volcanic ash blanketed the island.
Satellite photos released by New Zealand, Australia and UNOSAT show islands that used to be green and lush. The water from large waves that crashed onto the shore can be seen.
Local authorities asked residents to wear masks and drink bottled water because of the ash and smoke that contaminated the water. New Zealand's military promised water and other supplies but said the ash coating the runways would delay flights by at least another day.
The New Zealand Defense Force has provided a photo of a P3K2 Orion with an aerial view of homes covered in ash in Nomuka, Tonga.
Satellite images show the eruption of the volcano on Saturday, which produced a 3-mile-wide eruption of ash and gas. The explosion caused a large wave of water to hit the ground, and the eruption disrupted communication with the small island nation.

The West Coast has been hit by a volcano eruption.
Many had feared a widespread disaster, but the waves rose only to about 2.5 feet. Concerns remain over the impact on two smaller islands as fractured communication continues.
The Red Cross estimated 50 homes were destroyed in the main island of Tongatapu.
The head of the delegation in the Pacific for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said that they had grave fears. We are not seeing the catastrophic effect we thought would happen in those major population centers.

The effects of eruption are felt across the ocean.
The volcano's blast was heard in Alaska. The effects of the earthquake crossed the ocean to the U.S. coast. Waves caused an oil spill and two people drowned.
Dave Snider is the warning coordination for the National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, and he said it was very unusual for a volcanic eruption to affect an entire ocean basin.
Two people drowned and large waves caused an oil spill after they shifted a boat that was transferring oil at a refinery. The spill was controlled within hours, according to officials.
The threat of a wave in the ocean was in effect for Hawaii, Alaska and the U.S. Pacific coast, but it dissipated on Sunday after West Coast authorities urged residents to stay away from beaches.
Two people were taken to the hospital after being swept out to sea while fishing at San Gregorio State Beach in San Mateo County, Cal Fire said. There were reports of boats getting pushed up in docks and isolated flooding at Port San Luis and Santa Cruz, California. There was no widespread damage.
The first reported death from the tsunami was that of a British woman who was swept away by a wave while trying to save her dogs.

Satellite images show damage after the volcano eruption.
Australia and New Zealand sent planes to assess damage in the Pacific island of Tonga, which has been isolated since a volcano erupted on Saturday. The Red Cross is concerned about the risk of aid deliveries spreading COVID-19 to Tonga, which is currently COVID-free. The force of the eruption was felt as far away as New Zealand, the United States, and Japan, but we don't know the extent of the damage. The eruption of the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano was so powerful that space satellites captured an atmospheric shockwave that flew out from the volcano at close to the speed of sound.
The volcanic island of Ha'apai in the South Pacific was almost completely destroyed by a volcanic eruption on Saturday.

Three people have been confirmed dead and all the homes on one of the small outer islands have been destroyed by the volcanic eruption. The severing of an undersea cable could cause communication problems. The office of the Prime Minister said in a statement that every home on Mango island, where around 50 people live, had been destroyed.
The Pacific island nation has 2 confirmed dead so far, but communications are still patchy, and the scale of the damage is just starting to become clear.
Climate scientists were interested in the January explosion of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai volcano in Tonga since it temporarily cooled the globe. Tropical volcanoes, such as in Tonga, tend to be particularly effective at injecting sunlight-reflecting material.

The surgeon and author of the New York Times best seller "The Plant Paradox" reveals what many have suspected for a long time.
Acid rain is created when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide interact with water and oxygen in the atmosphere. There is a chance of acid rain around the island of Tonga, according to a volcanologist.
The United Nations said on Monday that a distress signal had been detected in an isolated group of islands in the Tonga archipelago. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in an update on Monday that volcanic activity can't be ruled out and that formal assessments of the outer islands have yet to be released. Satellite images from around 12 hours after the blast show that the island of Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai is all but gone.

The international airport in the Pacific nation of Tonga is covered in volcanic ash and officials are trying to clear it so that planes can bring much-needed aid.
The volcano that erupted off the South Pacific island of Tonga at the weekend was obscured from satellites by a sea-level crater that was destroyed by the explosion. The eruption of the volcano on the Pacific Ring of Fire sent waves across the ocean and was heard in New Zealand. "The concern at the moment is how little information we have and that's scary," said a New Zealand-based volcanologist.
Satellite images released on January 18 show the aftermath of the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano that triggered a tsunami on the South Pacific nation of Tonga on January 15. Data from the bureau suggested that the eruption sent a powerful shockwave that traveled over 1000 km per hour. Maxar Technologies via Storyful.
