Vertical component, 0.03–2 Hz, the full record, about 45 minutes, shown 75× faster: blue — P-waves, gold — S-waves, red — surface waves. Times after the origin.

How the waves travelled 2,500 km
  1. 4 min 35 sThe first P-wave reaches Antarashat, our closest station in the south
  2. +31 sThe same wave arrives at SHIK in the north, 300 km farther
  3. 8–9 minSlower S-waves shake both stations
  4. 11–13 minLong-period surface waves bring the largest amplitudes
