New images have been released that reveal the devastation left in the wake of a volcano eruption and tsunami near the island nation of Tonga.

The explosion and leftover clouds have mostly disappeared after erupting 19 miles into the air and depositing ash, gas, and rain over large parts of the Pacific. The explosion also generated large waves that launched across the Pacific Ocean and affected several island nations, including Tonga. Now the outside world is moving to understand the scale of events and to grasp who and what was injured in the process.
