2:23Now PlayingNew Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Sunday said that her administration stands ready to support Tonga in the wake of a huge undersea volcanic eruption, but emphasised that the extent of damage remained unclear.
Satellite images showed the spectacular eruption that took place Saturday evening, with a plume of ash, steam and gas rising like a mushroom above the blue Pacific waters.
A sonic boom could be heard as far away as Alaska.
In Tonga it sent tsunami waves crashing across the shore and people rushing to higher ground.
The eruption cut the internet to Tonga, leaving friends and family members around the world anxiously trying to get in touch to figure out if there were any injuries and the extent of the damage.
