Le 26 d\u00e9cembre 2004, un terrible s\u00e9isme venait d\u00e9chirer la cro\u00fbte terrestre de notre plan\u00e8te. La violence de l'onde de choc a entra\u00een\u00e9 un tsunami (\u00e9norme vague) qui a fait des milliers de victimes et a ravag\u00e9 les villes et villages c\u00f4tiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mais d'autres changements se sont produits, qui n'ont pourtant pas fait la Une des actualit\u00e9s, comme \u00e0 North Sentinel, une minuscule \u00eele de l'oc\u00e9an Indien.<\/p>\n

Avant le tremblement de terre, des arbres poussaient dans l'eau. Les eaux peu profondes et les r\u00e9cifs de corail qui cernaient l'\u00eele lui donnaient une couleur turquoise brillante.<\/p>\n

Mais la derni\u00e8re photo prise par Proba nous montre une toute autre image. Comme de nombreuses \u00eeles avoisinantes, North Sentinel a \u00e9t\u00e9 sur\u00e9lev\u00e9e et est sortie du lit de l'oc\u00e9an. Elle maintenant bord\u00e9e d'une ceinture de sable nu. La grande majorit\u00e9 des lagons bleus ont disparu.<\/p>\n

On ne sait combien de personnes vivent sur l'\u00eele, ni l'impact que le s\u00e9isme a pu avoir sur leur mode de vie. Les habitants de l'\u00eele vivent encore \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge de pierre, refusant tout contact avec l'ext\u00e9rieur.<\/p>\n

Des \u00e9tudes sugg\u00e8rent que la tribu a surv\u00e9cu \u00e0 la catastrophe, se retirant peut-\u00eatre dans les terres avant la mont\u00e9e de la vague.<\/p>\n

Toutefois, des images prises depuis l'espace laissent penser que, \u00e0 l'exception de la partie est de l'\u00eele, certains de leurs lieux de p\u00eache c\u00f4tiers pourraient avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9truits.<\/p>\n

Les r\u00e9cifs eux-m\u00eames \u2013 qui abritent des millions de cr\u00e9atures marines \u2013 ont \u00e9galement peu de chances de survivre. Certains ne sont plus recouverts par la mar\u00e9e haute, tandis que d\u2019autres sont \u00e0 peine submerg\u00e9s et risquent d\u2019\u00eatre endommag\u00e9s par un ensoleillement intense.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
