Aleutian Megaquake & Tsunami: The Disaster That Could Wipe Out The Pacific

Aleutian Megaquake & Tsunami: The Disaster That Could Wipe Out The Pacific
The Aleutian Islands, a remote chain of volcanic peaks stretching between Alaska and Russia, may seem far removed from the world’s bustling cities. But hidden beneath their windswept coastlines lies a ticking geological time bomb: a vast subduction zone primed for a megaquake. Scientists warn that this fault line, which has already spawned some of the most powerful earthquakes and tsunamis on record, is dangerously overdue for another rupture. Imagine colossal waves racing across the Pacific, swamping coastlines from Hawaii to Japan, and shaking cities from Anchorage to San Francisco. Could this be the site of the next ocean-wide disaster? And if the signs are so clear—why is no one talking about it?
