Hunga Tonga Volcano Eruption Update; Acid Rain, Large Pumice Raft

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano in Tonga just produced a new eruption, sending a plume of ash 16,000 meters or 52,500 feet into the atmosphere. Today marks day 4 of the eruption, as intermittent additional explosions have continued to occur. Due to the amount of sulfur dioxide which has been ejected, there is a danger of acid rain. Additionally, ships should steer clear to the west of the eruption site as a large pumice raft continues to expand in size. This video will separate fact from fiction, and discuss what size and duration of volcanic activity is expected at Hunga Tonga. It is a very famous volcano as it has produced several spectacular island forming eruptions in the 21st century.
