The eruption of a volcano in Indonesia led to an underwater landslide that triggered a tsunami that affected several surrounding islands. The death toll currently stands at 437 and the number injured at 14,059.
Indonesia is no stranger to tsunamis. This past September, a tsunami triggered by an earthquake left over 2,200 dead. In 2004, the tsunami which struck many countries after a massive earthquake killed well over 100,000 in Indonesia, the most of any country in the disaster area.
