On October 29, 2025 at 17:46 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 42 km E of Denali Park, Alaska, at a depth of 4.9 km and coordinates 63.7807°, -148.0607°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
