In 1960, the worlds largest recorded modern earthquake hit Chile at 9.5 on the Richter scale. Fish were found at the base of the Rana Raraku crater the next day where a tsunami estimated at 15-20 feet washed all the way up to the base of the volcano. The recent 8.8 earthquake created a 3 foot tsunami here and did minor damage to some of the coastal archeological sites.
