Saw the really scary "before" and "after" photos of Tonga hit with the volcanic eruption. My hubby and I were unfortunate to be in HI when the most recent volcano sent ash everywhere- and covered the island in "VOG". Three weeks later when we were there, it was still spewing ash, and although we were told the chances were low- we spent 3 nights out by the hotel waiting for Mantas = that never showed. This was hmmmmm 2018 I think. I believe it was MONTHS later that they finally came back, after the volcano show.
Any thoughts or predictions as to the impact this will have on the whales? Does all that ash effect water quality- like it does air quality? Anyone know? We were set for a fall trip to Tonga- a dream of mine, but now not concerned about trip- but the status of the island, it's people and the whales/ocean. Anyone have any ideas?
