On December 19, 2025 at 22:23 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 intermediate depth earthquake struck 64 km SE of Denali National Park, Alaska, at a depth of 120.9 km and coordinates 63.0810°, -150.9480°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
