Home Reef (Tonga Islands): (13 Dec) The effusive eruption at the island continues.
The lava flow continues to pour out from the summit vent to the north-northeast where has been already forming a new lava delta. Thus, the advancing lava enlarges the island’s size as detected in the attached Sentinel-2 timelapse comparing datasets from 7 and 12 December.
A considerable visible discolored water in the very close vicinity of the volcano might (highly likely) result from the hydrothermal system beneath the edifice, where hot water and steam interact with ambient rocks, dissolving minerals towards the surface. This leads to changes in water color, such as a yellow-to-green tint due to sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide.
