Hunga Tonga/Hunga Ha'apai


An undersea volcano off the coast of Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean is producing a rooster plume of steam.


Scientists sailed to inspect the the volcano, which has been shooting smoke, steam and ash into the air near the low-lying twin volcanic islands of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai.


Ash from the volcano is floating on the ocean's surface.
