Hawaii Tonga Honga Mid-January saw the underwater explosion of Hong Eplay Burka, which had effects that could be felt for hundreds of kilometres and caused a tsunami.
The Daily Mail newspaper reported that the volcano launched a pillar of ash, which amounted to 57 km.
It is known that the meteorites approaching the Earth are burning in the third layer of the atmosphere, known as “Mizosfir,” which starts at a height of 48 km above sea level and is reached by this volcano, making it the first of its kind.
The height of the gas and particle pillar that the volcano released was not precisely known at the time it rose to high heights.
The volcano is situated in the state of Tonga, a Pacific Ocean archipelago made up of several islands.
The volcano is situated inside the volcanic Tonga Kermadik Arch, a group of volcanoes that extends 65 kilometres northwest of Nocalova, the capital of Tonga.
A massive volcanic eruption and “tsunami” waves in Tonga caused catastrophic damage, destroying homes and vast areas were destroyed under a thick layer of ash.
Three meteorological satellites were utilised, according to researchers at the University of Oxford and the “Rale” space centre in Britain, to measure the enormous smuggling column and record the results in a paper.
The smoke column reached 40 kilometres in 1991 in Jabal Balatubo in the Philippines, setting the previous record.
The study’s principal investigator, Dr. Simon Broad, claimed the findings were exceptional and that a smoke column of this kind had never been observed before.
Without employing satellites, he said, it was impossible to correctly monitor this height.
When the numbers are broken, a volcanic grey column reaches the meteorite combustion region.
