Tonga Volcano Erupts by Aidan

On Tuesday, last week an underwater volcano near Tonga has erupted sending steam and ash high into the sky. Scientists think it is possible that an earthquake deep beneath the ocean floor triggered the eruption.

Scientists sailed close to the eruption to see if it was safe to stay in that area. Officials say that there is no danger to those living near the coast of the island and that no one has been evacuated.
