A sea turtle who travelled thousands of miles towards Tonga suddenly changed course the day before a volcanic eruption caused carnage on the island nation.
Tilly, three, had recently been released into the waters near Australia and spent the next 47 days swimming east.
But on January 14 she suddenly turned around - 24 hours before Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai’s violent underwater eruption sent ash 60,000 feet into the sky, causing tsunamis devastating the islands.
