    The Ngāuruhoe volcano in New Zealand erupted in February 1975, around the same time France was conducting nuclear tests at Mururoa Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. A cartoonist suggested the volcanic eruption was a symbolic protest by underground forces against the nuclear explosions. The eruption occurred simultaneously with controversial nuclear tests, leading one artist to depict the natural event as a response against the human-caused nuclear activity.
