Two months on from the devastating Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcanic eruption, a family from Nomuka is yet to return home.
The village is one of the closest to the volcano - around 70 kilometres away.
The Sheen family have a whale watching business in Tonga - they took their boat to the volcano's crater and camped on it last year.
But the Sheens were in Northland for boat maintenance, two months ago today, when the eruption and tsunami caused widespread destruction.
RNZ reporter Sam Olley spoke to Dior Sheen, who is currently based in Tauranga.
