#thecosmosnews Amazing photo shows Antarctica bathed in pink light after a volcano eruption spewed particles in the atmosphere Pink Skies Seen Over Antarctica May Be Explained by Tonga Volcano Eruption Antarctica s sky turned pink and purple last week, a stunning photo shows. The change is due to particles released by a volcano eruption at the start of the year. The blast on Tonga has been affecting skies in other countries too. The skies above Antarctica are burning a fiery pink, which is thought to be as a result of the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption in January 2022. Similar hues have dazzled other regions in the Southern Hemisphere during July, including New Zealand and Australia. Antarctica is in a state of near-constant twilight in July, as it is just past midwinter in the Southern Hemisphere, so Antarctic scientists see these sunset-like colors at about midday. The scientists in Antarctica communicated with New Zealand s National Institute of Water and Atmospherics (NIWA) after they started experiencing the same skies. According to NIWA, their shared phenomenon was due to the remnants of the enormous plume of ejecta produced when the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha apai volcano erupted in the South Pacific earlier this year.
