The researchers analysed the tsunami caused by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha\u2019apai volcanic eruption in the South Pacific earlier this year \u2013 the largest recorded by modern equipment. The resulting tsunami caused a range of unexpected distant effects and was first predicted as only a regional hazard. However, the wave killed at least three people on the island of Tonga, travelling as far as Peru, where a further three people drowned, highlighting how accurate tsunami warning systems are essential.<\/p>\n
