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
