Description

On December 26, 2004, a powerful earthquake beneath the Indian Ocean triggered one of the most devastating natural disasters in modern history. Within hours, enormous waves reached the coastlines of several countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. Coastal communities were overwhelmed, popular holiday destinations were transformed, and millions of lives were forever changed.
