NASA's SWOT satellite captured the first high-resolution, space-based view of a major Pacific tsunami caused by the 2025 Kamchatka earthquake, revealing complex wave patterns that challenge existing tsunami models and could improve future forecasting.
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, prompting tsunami advisories for parts of Alaska and Hawaii, but no threat to the U.S. West Coast has been confirmed.
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake off Kamchatka, Russia, occurred on September 18, 2025. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reports no current tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi, though a tsunami risk exists closer to the earthquake's epicenter. No destructive tsunami is expected for Hawaiʻi at this time.
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula with no immediate reports of damage or injuries, and initial tsunami threats were dismissed by authorities.
A major magnitude 7.4 earthquake occurred in the North Pacific Ocean near Kamchatka, Russia, at a depth of 39 km, causing very strong shaking near the epicenter and affecting over 270,000 people, with moderate economic impact and low fatality risk.
NASA's SWOT satellite captured detailed data of a tsunami triggered by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, helping improve tsunami forecasting models and understanding of wave behavior.
Satellite images indicate that the Russian nuclear submarine base at Rybachiy, near Kamchatka, sustained minor damage, particularly to a floating pier, following a strong earthquake in the region, though no significant impact on military readiness has been reported.
The Krasheninnikov volcano in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula erupted for the first time in approximately 600 years following a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake, sending ash into the sky and prompting a tsunami warning, though no inhabited areas were affected.
The Krasheninnikov volcano in Russia's Far East erupted for the first time in approximately 600 years, following a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake, with ash reaching 6 km into the sky and prompting a temporary tsunami warning, though no inhabited areas were affected.
The long-dormant Krasheninnikov volcano in Russia's Far East erupted for the first time in at least 400 years, following recent seismic activity including earthquakes and eruptions in the Kamchatka region, with no immediate danger to nearby populations.
Russian officials issued a tsunami warning of up to 19 centimeters following a 6.8-7.0 magnitude earthquake near the Kuril Islands, with low wave heights expected along the Kamchatka coast. This event follows a significant 8.8 magnitude quake and volcanic eruption in Kamchatka, possibly linked to the recent seismic activity.
The Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka, erupting for the first time in 600 years, is believed to be triggered by a recent large earthquake in Russia's Far East, with the eruption producing a significant ash plume and posing aviation risks.
The Ukrainian Navy confirmed damage to Russia's nuclear submarine base in Kamchatka caused by a recent earthquake, but officials state it is a technical issue unlikely to impact military operations.
A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Kamchatka triggered a surprisingly small tsunami due to the depth and nature of seabed displacement, resulting in less vertical seabed movement than expected, which minimized the tsunami's impact despite the earthquake's size.
A magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula did not trigger a massive tsunami because the earthquake's rupture pattern did not cause significant vertical sea floor deformation, resulting in smaller waves than expected. The event highlighted the importance of vertical sea floor movement in tsunami formation and demonstrated the effectiveness of early warning systems.
