A powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska's Aleutian Islands on Wednesday, prompting a tsunami warning and calls for coastal residents to seek higher ground, though officials later confirmed no significant damage or injuries.

German soldiers never set foot on the speck of land at the far end of the Aleutian Islands during World War II, but the name persisted.

The renamed sites include a mile-long stream formerly known as “ Nazi Creek ” and a nearby summit previously bearing a derogatory term for Japanese people. Both are located on the southeastern side of Little Kiska Island, adjacent to the larger and more prominent Kiska Island, at the far end of the Aleutian chain 1,450 miles from Anchorage.

I’ve got liquid smoke and barbecue sauce and pickles ... broken on the floor,” the manager of the local general store said. “It smells horrendous in here.”

ALASKA — A large 7.3M earthquake has occurred in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. A Tsunami Warning has been posted for parts of the Aleutian Islands and South Alaska.

A little-known creek in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska had been officially named “Nazi Creek” for 80 years — until this week. Following a campaign by a local advocate, the creek was given a new name in the language of the local Indigenous people,

Nazi Creek was renamed Thursday to Kaxchim Chiĝanaa, an Unangax̂ phrase replacing a name originally assigned by World War II-era soldiers.
