Volcano and Earthquake watch

Analysis of stereoscopic satellite imagery (Himawari-8/GOES-17) would appear to confirm that the initial hot ash and gas eruption column from Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai reached up 58 km, well into the mesosphere (>50 km altitude).

Not sure what volcano this is, but nice footage. Might be the one in Iceland.

farmerbarleymow - Yes, in Iceland - that clip is of the "Nar" vent, refilling and then overflowing the crater and getting on towards the last few months of the eruptions.

The footage itself is not particularly mindblowing, but interesting to see that nearly four months after the La Palma eruption ended, the lava fields across the island are still so hot that rainfall evaporates on contact, creating a thick fog...

Very similar to the lava fields on Iceland - when it snows there's an almost immediate fog bank.

Effects of the Tonga volcano eruption in January reached space!

n the hours after the eruption, hurricane-speed winds and unusual electric currents formed in the ionosphere—Earth's electrified upper atmospheric layer at the edge of space.

"The volcano created one of the largest disturbances in space we've seen in the modern era," said Brian Harding, a physicist at University of California, Berkeley, and lead author on a new paper discussing the findings. "It is allowing us to test the poorly understood connection between the lower atmosphere and space."

That lack of collapse might go some way to explaining why the tsunami produced seemed relatively small for such a violent eruption.
