From the previous article on this island, it was not expected to last this long, and now if I'm remembering correctly it's not expected to last more than 30 years. It may just be better to research what happens naturally for the time it's around.

Apparently it was only expected to survive a couple of months originally (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-14/new-tongan-volcano-be...).
If we purposefully colonized it I'd like to know if we could make it permanent. It's not very often you get the chance to restore some rain-forest without pissing somebody off, even if it is a small token effort.
