Coral Reefs Die When They are Out of Water
These people are standing on what was, until last week, an underwater coral reef. Then an Earthquake struck and raised their island tens of metres (I have seen a quote of 70 metres... I am not sure I buy that number). The picture is impressive. <Link>
The island's name is Ranongga. I found this island has a thermal area that the islanders use to cook at. A sure sign of a geologically active place.
