A tsunami threat was issued in Chile after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the Drake Passage on Friday. The epicenter was located 135 miles south of Puerto Williams on the north coast of Navarino Island.
Chile's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOA) has officially canceled the tsunami warning issued earlier this week after a powerful earthquake struck the Drake Passage, located between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica.
The earthquake occurred at 4:29 p.m. ET at a depth of nine miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The tsunami threat was issued about 19 minutes after the quake. Officials warned that dangerous tsunami waves are possible along coasts within about 620 miles of the earthquake, especially in Chile.
The Drake Passage is known for its strong currents and has been the site of several significant earthquakes in recent years. The region is also a key shipping route for vessels traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
As of now, there have been no reports of significant damage or casualties. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have urged residents in affected areas to stay informed and follow any evacuation orders if issued.
