LAST YEAR, A VOLCANO ERUPTION IN THE PACIFIC REGION CHANGED THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE TONGA AND A BRAND NEW ISLAND BORN
Last year, in January, a new island began to form, about 65 km southwest of the main island of Tongatapu and the country's capital, Nuku'alofa. The island appeared as a result of a volcanic eruption.
Hotel owner GP Orbassano, along with a friend and his son, arrived by yacht to one of the island's three beaches to explore the newly formed island.
The group was able to climb the highest point of the island's crater, believed to be approximately 250 meters high. Tonga's Ministry of Natural Resources said the island was approximately 800 meters wide and 1.3 kilometers long.
The volcano began its activity on December 20, 2014 and was explored in March 2015 for the first time since the eruption.
So yachtsmen got a new object for research.
