Waves of up to 4 metres are expected to hit the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia in the early hours of Wednesday, after a huge earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, local authorities said.
Waves ranging from “1.10 metres to 4 metres” on the island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas archipelago are expected overnight from around 1:00 am local time (1100 GMT), the High Commission of the French Republic in French Polynesia said in a statement, adding that the islands of Ua Huka and Hiva Oa are also expected to be affected.
