2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami
An aerial view of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, shows a debris-littered landscape after a tsunami swept the coastline on December 26, 2004. The devastating tsunami, triggered by the underwater Sumatra-Andaman earthquake in Indonesia, hit coastal areas throughout the Indian Ocean.
A year after the December 2004 tsunami swept through Thailand's Phang Nga province, tourism continued to suffer. The top photo, from January 9, 2005, shows destruction to a hotel resort; the bottom, from December 11, 2005, shows rooms that were partially repaired yet remained empty.
Shoved ashore by the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a brightly painted fishing boat sits among the battered buildings of Nam Kem, a fishing village in Thailand. A massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, triggered the catastrophic tsunami.
Twelve-year-old Fathma Nusrat stands amid debris near her home in Galle, Sri Lanka, following the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. She lost her three brothers to the killer waves.
A Sri Lankan woman collects personal items as her husband surveys damage to their coastal Colombo home two days after a tsunami swept through the Indian Ocean. Officials estimated that the tsunami forced more than one million Sri Lankans from their homes.
A man surveys the destruction to his house and boat in Pangandaran, Indonesia, after a July 2006 tsunami struck the island of Java just a year and a half after the devastating 2004 tsunami in nearby Sumatra. A tsunami is a series of ocean waves triggered by a massive displacement of water, in this case, an earthquake.
Acres of rubble surround an Indonesian man carting merchandise from his damaged shop in Banda Aceh six days after the 2004 tsunami overwhelmed coastal Indian Ocean towns with waves as high as 30 feet (9 meters).
