Tin Can Island Tongans Shielded by Quick Escape
The Niuafoou volcanic island, nicknamed Tin Can Island for its mail delivery by floating tin cans, has a long history of eruptions. Residents of Futu and nearby villages escaped in 1929 as lava descended, while Niuafoou’s fringe supported farms and a ring-shaped crater. The island lies near Samoa, Tonga, and Fiji, with intermittent eruptions roughly every 16 to 72 years and a climate akin to Hawaii.
