Item Description
It was four years ago, on the sunny afternoon of March 11, 2011 that a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan’s largest island. The lurching of tectonic plates beneath the Pacific Ocean spawned a series of destructive tsunami waves, some of them measuring up to 10 metres high that took more than 18,000 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and washed tons of material into the ocean.
