Tafu-Maka.jpg
A bathymetric map prepared during a NOAA Vents Program November 2008 expedition shows two submarine volcanoes, Tafu (Tongan for "source of fire") and Maka (Tongan for "rock"). The volcanoes lie along a NE-SW-trending ridge on the southern part of the back-arc NE Lau Spreading Center (NELSC). The November 2008 expedition discovered submarine hydrothermal plumes consistent with very recent (days to weeks?) submarine lava effusion from Maka volcano.

Hungatonga aster 20090326.jpg
False-color image showing the effects of the eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano in Tonga, March 26, 2009. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA's Terra satellite captured the image on March 25, 2009. The submerged vent has broken the surface of the Pacific Ocean and the new land is the dark mass south of Hunga Haʻapai. Clouds cover the space between the new land and Hunga Haʻapai. The vent itself is the nearly perfect circular hole near the southern edge of the new land. The ocean around the erupting volcano is bright blue, indicating ash, rock, and other volcanic debris. Plant-covered land is red. Note that Hunga Haʻapai is now colored black, indicating that plants on the island are now buried in ash or dead.

West Mata.jpg
Incandescence and a plume rise above the Hades vent of West Mata, a submarine volcano rising to within 1174 m of the sea surface, in May 2009. The volcano is located in the northeastern Lau Basin at the northern end of the Tonga arc, about 200 km SW of Samoa. It was discovered during a November 2008 NOAA Vents Program expedition, when West Mata was found to be producing submarine hydrothermal plumes consistent with recent or ongoing lava effusion. A return visit in May 2009 documented explosive and effusive activity.
