The Kamchatka earthquake sent tongues of high-amplitude tsunami waves (orange colors) fanning out across the Pacific Ocean, according to a model produced by the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). Waves reached Samoa, as well as the Solomon Islands, Hawaii, Crescent City (northern California), and the Galapagos Islands. Credit: from NOAA Center for Tsunami Research, annotated by Temblor
