World News Report Today covers the major seismic swarm originating on the Kamchatka peninsula. The recent earthquake activity is displayed using maps and data, showing how the swarm is making its way toward North America through the Aleutian arc. Stay informed about potential impacts in 2025 and beyond with this important update on tectonic activity.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have that big swarm from the Russian Peninsula
working its way into North America via the Aleutian Islands.
Now, we've just had a 6.2 magnitude earthquake.
Came in at a 6 on the DYFI
with an associated tsunami warning here.
It looks like a depth of 47.3 kilometers per the USGS.
Again, right on the Aleutian Islands, right on the peninsula of Alaska.
We've got volcanoes just to the north erupting
and just to the west erupting.
Well, if the energy is going to move that quickly.
Towards the Aleutian Islands and Alaska,
it should also move down the plate,
North American Plate Boundary, into the Juan de Fuca area,
i.e. the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
I'll be on red alert on the west coast of the U.S.
Looking at that Russian Peninsula,
these are just 5.0s and greater, guys.
It's unbelievable.
I'll move it up to the 6.0 and greater.
A complete swarm there.
One of the strongest swarms I think we've ever seen.
You can see that it's pretty much on a plate boundary
and now right under a volcano that's awakening.
As we move down the Aleutian Islands towards Alaska,
you can see that we have just had a 6.2
just south of the Katmai volcano and Spur,
Spur volcano.
And I expect Spur and haze to wake up very, very shortly.
We'll get some detailed information on this right now.
Not a major like we had earlier today with the 7.4 magnitude
and the three 6.6s.
They were also very strong.
Another very strong earthquake, magnitude 6.2,
on the Aleutian Islands or on the actual peninsula.
In Alaska, if that energy continues to work
its way down through the west coast of Canada
into the west coast of the U.S.,
you're going to have big problems afoot, and it does appear
that's exactly what's occurring.
Now, World News Report today did call for an uptick,
as everyone knows, for the last
little since the 11th and 12th,
and I called it way before that, and we've seen nothing
Nothing but an uptick since then.
We discussed it would be about a six to seven-month uptick,
and it's not disappointing whatsoever.
Here we have a 6.2 magnitude main reporting source,
primary source USGS.
There's Volcano, the Dana,
and 1.9 atomic bombs worth of energy released.
So, according to VolcanoDiscovery.com,
where we're at now,
It was just south of the peninsula there,
just south of the Aleutian Islands, and they
felt it all the way up, well, just south of Anchorage,
a rather large earthquake for the
area here.
All right, comparing earthquake data from different reporting agencies.
First, we have the USGS coming in at 6.2.
They have 47 kilometers.
We have the Incorporated Research Institution
for Seismology coming in at 6.0, also at 47 kilometers.
I'm guessing that, well, and we're following
that by the Germans coming in at 6.17, a default depth.
You can tell by the asterisks.
Of 10 kilometers, a depth given as 10 kilometers often means
the depth of the quake cannot be
determined with sufficient accuracy.
Put that to the bottom there.
After that, we have the Europeans coming in at 6.2 as well.
So what else do we have?
And, of course, the French came in at a 5.94,
as close as they could get to a 6, a default
depth there as well.
We have the Italians coming in at 6.0.
And finally the Australians come in at 6.15.
The Italians came in with 49 kilometers of depth
and the Australians came in with 35 kilometers of depth.
Now earlier today you guys know we had
eight tsunami buoys in event mode.
Currently we have four in event mode.
I can't find much of a tsunami.
I've looked at all the detailed information.
But there should have been one generated.
We're missing a lot of data here.
This would be where it happened,
but nothing definitive from 46414 or from 46001.
Let's see if we can get that one.
It was having a problem lighting up earlier.
I did go to view details, and they're not letting it go.
But we can also look at these two here.
They would have, well, been off the hook with the earlier 7.3,
and not so much from the
last quake here in Alaska.
We had station 2141-6,
and just below that, 2141-9.
Nothing even worth mentioning.
Jumping over to Mount Rainier and the Cascades,
it's like we've had only 12 earthquakes.
In the last 24 hours,
all of them look to be well below the crest of the caldera here.
We've also seen a couple of earthquakes here at Amboy,
Washington, which is Mount St. Helens.
Not very big quakes.
This is the direction that it blew last time, 0.4,
nothing sizable or to worry about whatsoever.
With that said, our quake swarm over off the peninsula in Russia.
Looks like it's up to 57 quakes,
probably about three or four times that.
This is the USGS.
It only covers 4.0s if they're not in the US.
And it looks like the largest is still that 7.4,
followed by three 6.6s.
Looks like everything else is coming in below that,
although we're still seeing a swarm there.
That said, God bless each and every one of you guys.
