Tonga volcano eruption released more energy than the most powerful nuclear bomb The eruption of the underwater volcano in Tonga that triggered a tsunami earlier this year (January 2022), released more energy than the Tsar Bomba—the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated—accord...

Using this method, we determined that the eruption at Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha‘apai released ~61 Mt, slightly higher in magnitude than the yield of the Tsar Bomba.
