During the early morning hours of March 9, 1957, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck along a section of the Aleutian Trench located south of the Andreanof Islands (the section of the Aleutian Islands shown above). The vertical seafloor displacement that accompanied this quake generated a major Pacific-wide tectonic tsunami, similar to the 1946 Aleutian event, but fortunately smaller. The 1957 event is not as well documented as that of 1946, which is probably do to the fact that it struck hardest at the sparsely populated Aleutian Islands, while more populated areas, such as Hawaii and California, received smaller waves.
