Tonga volcano: Threat of another tsunami as expert warns volcano could still be active

Experts have warned that the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption means the volcano may be unstable and has an increased risk of more tsunamis.

The underwater volcano erupted in the Pacific last week and was heard as far as the US, triggering a 7.4 magnitude earthquake, sending a tsunami towards Tonga.

The Red Cross has warned that up to 80,000 people could be impacted by the natural disaster. However, the full extent of damage caused is yet to be determined as information from the island is scarce.
