Abstract
AS the crow flies, Great Nicobar, the southern-most island in the Andaman and Nicobar group, is only about 150 km from Aceh in Sumatra, the epicentre of the devastating earthquake. So the impact of the tsunamis it triggered on the Andamans, particularly the Nicobars (which have a population of nearly 45,000), can well be imagined. After the first shock of a magnitude of 8.9 on the Richter scale hit Aceh at 6-30 a.m. IST, a second one, measuring 7.3, occurred at around 9 a.m. with its epicentre at Indira Gandhi Point, the tip of the Great Nicobar Island.
