Residents of the remote southern Argentine village of Puerto Almanza were ordered to evacuate the area on Friday over the threat of a tsunami caused by an earthquake off the southern coast of South America.
“Residents of the Puerto Almanza area, located approximately 75 kilometers from Ushuaia on the eastern coast of the Beagle Channel, are asked to preventively evacuate the area and move to higher, safer ground,” the government of Tierra del Fuego province wrote on its X account.
