A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska's Sand Point coast at 12:37 a.m. local time, shaking the seismically volatile region and triggering a tsunami warning for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. With an epicenter just 87 kilometers south of Sand Point and a shallow depth of 20.1 kilometers, the quake sparked panic in coastal towns.
The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed tsunami waves and urged immediate evacuation from areas between Kennedy Entrance and Unimak Pass. Alaska, part of the notorious Pacific Ring of Fire, has a history of devastating quakes—most notably the 1964 megaquake that killed over 250 people. While no warnings were issued for Hawaii or the US mainland, emergency crews are on high alert. Footage from the moment the earthquake struck shows dramatic tremors rattling homes and shaking the ground. The aftermath is being closely monitored for aftershocks and further tsunami threats.

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have found traces of gold and rare precious metals in volcanic rocks from Hawaii, revealing a direct link to Earth's core. The study, published in Nature, shows that materials from the core-mantle boundary—including gold, ruthenium, and platinum—are surfacing through volcanic activity. This discovery reshapes understanding of Earth’s deep interior and may revolutionize the search for rare metals crucial to renewable technologies and electronics. Researchers hail it as a major leap in Earth sciences.
