Passengers were escorted to board the ship - Campbell Bay Jetty

I took this photo after the Aftershock that happen in Campbell Bay jetty.

The aftershock was so huge and the passengers were stuck in small boats and then after they were escorted by the crew to board the ship.

There were many Aftershock in these islands and they were very risky.

One could only hear people screaming for fear of another Tsunami.

The condition of the villages after the Tsunami - Campbell Bay - Great Nicobarer together

After the Tsunami, water level rises almost everyday in many villages in Campbell Bay.

The cause of the tsunami on December 26, 2004

It is said that on an average the Indo- Australian plate moves below the Eurasian plate at around 70mm per year. Often, however the plate gets locked and moves very little for many years and pressure builds up.

When the accumulated pressure is suddenly released, a major earthquake results. This is what happened on December 26, 2004 near Sumatra, which resulted in the massive tsunami waves hitting the shorelines and islands in south Asia.
