Fonualei is a volcanic island close to Vavaʻu in the kingdom of Tonga. It was seen by Don Francisco Antonio Maurelle on the La Princesa in February 1781. He reported the island to be barren from eruptions, and called it for that reason Bitterness island.
A major eruption in 1846 together with 3 other neighbouring volcanoes Late, Tokū (?) and ?, destroyed much of the vegetation of Vavaʻu and spreaded ash around for at least a year.
