On April 6, 2026 at 22:36 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 intermediate depth earthquake struck 7 km S of Funny River, Alaska, at a depth of 75.5 km and coordinates 60.4310°, -150.7720°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 30.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 20 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
