Hunga Tonga Volcano Update; The Cause of Unusual Sunsets around the Globe

The eruption of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano is still ongoing at the present, although this is confined to a series of underwater vents. While its above water activity has ceased, its eruption has led to the generation of some unusually vivid and colorful sunsets. These unusual sunsets are caused by the abundance aerosols and sulfur dioxide which the eruption ejected high into the atmosphere. As a result, colorful sunsets will continue to occur for as many as 18 months following January of 2022.
