There are nearly 1,000 islands in the Solomon chain, and some are so remote that we were only able to reach them by private helicopter.

ABC News reporters visited Gizo, the island hardest hit by last week's quake and tsunami. Its beaches are now a tangle of debris and smashed homes. The scenes are so reminiscent of the devastating Asian tsunami that killed more than 250,000 in 2004.
