2026-06-10 17:10:33 UTC (2026-06-10) · approx. 6:10 AM UTC-11 local
On June 10, 2026 at 17:10 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 180 km SW of Nikolski, Alaska, at a depth of 2.0 km and coordinates 52.0330°, -171.0610°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 674 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 83 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
