Hi, I'm Jim Garvin, Chief Scientist and NASA Goddard

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,020
and I'm interested in how volcanoes work, evolve and tell us about

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,630
Earth and Mars.

4
00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:12,160
And the birth and, what we thought we be the death of

5
00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:14,850
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai, in the Southwest Pacific

6
00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:16,740
island nation of Tonga

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,570
has been captured in timelapse photography from space for the first time

8
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:24,930
adding three demensions so we can watch the landscape 

9
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:26,860
respond to the forces of Planet Earth

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,230
and see it in its different life stages

11
00:00:29,250 --> 00:00:31,510
sort of like we watch our children grow up

12
00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:34,290
here we see this island evolving to its present state

13
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:37,580
against all odds, surviving nearly three years

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,760
against the battering of the Pacific Ocean.

15
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:44,980
This is the lifestyle of an island evolving in space and time

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,170
and we study these to understand Earth 

17
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:49,460
and to extend that understanding to Mars. 

18
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:56,837
