A portion of Trinidad’s south-western coast was thrust nearly 20 feet upwards in the aftermath of the devastating twin earthquakes that rocked Venezuela last week, unsettling the Galfa coastline and trapping hundreds of sea animals among the rubble in a matter of seconds.

By yesterday afternoon Venezuela had reported more than 400 aftershocks that followed 7.2—and 7.5-magnitude quakes that have killed at least 1,400 along its northern coast line thus far. Miles away in Cedros, residents first discovered the raised seabed along an isolated strip of the Galfa coast on the morning after the quakes.
