Summary:On November 15, 2006, a strong earthquake with magnitude Mw = 8.3 occurred in the Central Kuril segment of the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone. The earthquake source was located in the ocean opposite to Simushir and Matua islands. The instrumental epicenter was located approximately at a distance of 85 km from the northern edge of Simushir Island. This was the first recording of such a powerful earthquake in this region in the entire history of seismic observations. During the period from July 1 to August 14, 2007, two marine multidisciplinary expeditions were carried out in the region of the Central Kuril Islands.
