2025-05-25 18:43:46 UTC (2025-05-25) · approx. 8:43 AM UTC-10 local
On May 25, 2025 at 18:43 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 64 km SE of Pope-Vannoy Landing, Alaska, at a depth of 100.0 km and coordinates 59.0761°, -153.8536°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 71 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
