Scientists just revealed 1 Year after Hunga Tonga–Hunga erupted they made a surprising discovery. Scientists just revealed this happened 1 year after Hunga Tonga–Hunga. In 2015, the island Hunga Tonga suddenly emerged in the southern Pacific Ocean near Fiji. A hidden underwater volcano erupted and drove the rock up to the surface to create the island. The volcano was situated between two already existing islands in the south pacific, then connecting them to one over-sized island. It's located in the kingdom of Tonga and technically has no official name, but locals have dubbed it Hunga Tonga-Hunga ha'apai, which they call Hunga Tonga, for short. It is a volcanic rock island situated 19 miles southeast of Tonga island. It is made up of black gravel and is relatively small. Within the last 150 years, only two other volcanic islands have suddenly burst into the ocean like this. Thank you for watching! Thank you to for the background music!
