A new island has been formed in the South Pacific after the eruption of an underwater volcano in Tonga.
Images have emerged of the island's surface, 45km (28 miles) north-west of Tonga's capital, Nuku'alofa.
The island - which is 500m (1,640 feet) long - was formed after an eruption at the Hunga Tonga volcano that started in December.
