The islands were just north of the earthquake epicentre, and the tsunami reached a height of 15 metres (49 ft) in the southern nicober islands. The official islands death toll was 1,310, with about 5,600 missing. The unofficial death toll (including those missing and presumed dead) was estimated at about 7,000. This ocean earthquake goes down in history as the deadlist of all time. It took the lives of over 230,000 victims through out the fourteen regions and wounded more than double this number.
