The terrible earthquake in Chile in February 2010 has caused a tsunami in the Pacific which hit Pitcairn Island on the morning of 27th February.

Fortunately the islanders had plenty of warning and no damage was caused.

The two pictures shown here have been animated from those posted to CNN iReport by Mike Warren, mayor of Pitcairn. There is a link to the CNN page from our News page, or click here.

Thank you to Barbara Kuchau on the Friends of Pitcairn website for the CNN link.
