He says it will take a while for the country to get back to normal,“but Tongans are very resilient”.
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted with a deafening explosion on January 15, sending a tsunami rolling across the Tonga archipelago, killing at least three people and destroying villages, resorts and many buildings. It also knocked out communications for the nation of around 105,000 people.

Müller's great-grandfather Philipp Gotthard Müller travelled to Tonga 130 years ago and married a local woman. There is still a large Müller community in Tonga. Luka Müller himself lives in canton Zug but maintains strong ties to the archipelago.
