A magnitude 7.5 earthquake has struck the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica — one of the most powerful quakes to hit the region in years. The jolt comes as global seismic activity surges to “very high” levels, with more than 500 quakes detected worldwide in the past 24 hours, including multiple magnitude 4+ events across the Americas.

Seismologists note that the Drake Passage quake released energy equivalent to over 160 atomic bombs, highlighting the scale of stress shifting along Earth’s tectonic plates. While far from major population centers, its location near the South Atlantic convergence zone makes it important to monitor as pressure redistributes through the Ring of Fire.

Today’s seismic unrest is being tracked alongside Cascadia Subduction Zone tremors and aftershocks spanning from the Pacific Northwest to the Caribbean. Scientists warn that such clustering often signals tectonic chain reactions, where one large rupture sets off stress transfers across distant plate boundaries.

In this video, we investigate the 7.5 quake in the Drake Passage, what it means for global seismic balance, and why tremors across the U.S. and Pacific may be connected.
