Hunga Tonga / Hunga Ha 'apai: the new island view by Pleiades.

The high-resolution satellite Pleiades, operated by Airbus Defence and Space offers us images of volcanic activity of Tonga volcano. After the inspection of New Zealand teams and images in the first half of January, here is a clear satellite image that reveals a new island almost circular, with a diameter of about 1,500 meters, connected to Hunga Ha'apai by a wide isthmus.

The crater is visible, and we can see that at the date of the satellite photo, Jan. 19, 2015, the eruption has subsided.

Compared with the photo of July 2014, we see that the vegetation of the nearby islands disappeared under the ashes of the eruption.
