M4.1 Earthquake 24 km SE of Kokhanok, Alaska — November 23, 2025
2025-11-23 20:30:18 UTC (2025-11-23) · approx. 10:30 AM UTC-10 local
On November 23, 2025 at 20:30 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 24 km SE of Kokhanok, Alaska, at a depth of 148.8 km and coordinates 59.2830°, -154.4710°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
