On July 14, 2025 at 20:03 UTC, a magnitude 2.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 52 km WSW of Denali Park, Alaska, at a depth of 12.2 km and coordinates 63.6226°, -149.9540°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 44 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
