00:00A massive 8-to-8 earthquake just rocked Russia's Far East,
00:04and the shockwaves were felt across the Pacific.
00:06In the early hours of Wednesday,
00:08one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded
00:10struck near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula.
00:13It was so powerful, tsunami waves hit coastlines in Russia, Japan, and even the U.S.
00:19Millions were told to evacuate as alarms rang out across the Pacific.
00:23Luckily, no lives were lost,
00:25but minor injuries and evacuations shook communities.
00:29And now, new tsunami warnings are being issued for Chile and Colombia.
00:33Kamchatka is no stranger to nature's fury.
00:36It's home to 300 volcanoes, 29 still active.
00:40Earthquakes and tsunamis are common here, thanks to a nearby ocean trench.
00:44And despite its wild landscape,
00:46it's also a hub for fishing and Russian nuclear submarines.
00:50In the middle of the chaos,
00:51a team of surgeons kept operating during the quake.
00:54Footage shows them steadying the patient and equipment as the ground shook.
00:58And just offshore, sea-lions leaped into the ocean in fear as the tremors hit.
01:03The worst may be over, but the Pacific is still on edge.
01:07And this quake is a powerful reminder of how fragile life is in the land of fire and ice.
01:13The forest who competencies are among the coastlineai.
01:17The sandalys.
01:19That's reply, but the ladder has remained bent before the seaτη nan promo.
01:21In наличие the stream covered for the seaweb,
01:23Make a sense of soil change will dry before the ter hippiene of fire and the Delaware of fire.
01:26So the people who are flying at the seaweb,
01:29and the people who are flying as the когоp.
