From: The evolution of the 2022–2024 eruption at Home Reef, Tonga, analyzed from space shows vent migration due to erosion

Fig. 7

From left to right: (1) Island growth during the first eruption phase (September–October 2022); (2) island erosion and accumulation of sediments in the north (between the first and second eruption phase); (3) island growth to the south during second eruption phase (September–November 2023); (4) small island expansion to the east during third eruption phase (January 2024); (5) large island expansion during fourth eruption phase (June–September 2024). The triangles mark the location of the active vents. The white arrows show the vent migrations. Solid outlines show the lava flow island, dashed outlines the sediments. The aerial extent of the island formed in 2006 as observed by ASTER on October 4, 2006 is shown in stripped grey.
