El huracán Walaka, que azotó a primeros de octubre el remoto atolón French Frigate Shoals, el más grande de Hawái, devoró uno de sus pequeños islotes deshabitados, la isla del Este, según han relevado ahora fotos tomadas vía satélite y que han sido publicadas por el Servicio Federal de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de EE UU (FWS, por sus siglas en inglés). La isla del Este tenía un gran valor ecológico, ya que era un santuario natural donde desovan las tortugas marinas verdes de Hawái y donde cría la foca monje, ambas especies en peligro de extinción.
