M3.0 Earthquake 76 km ESE of Akutan, Alaska — June 10, 2026
2026-06-10 19:59:02 UTC (2026-06-10) · approx. 8:59 AM UTC-11 local
On June 10, 2026 at 19:59 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 76 km ESE of Akutan, Alaska, at a depth of 62.8 km and coordinates 53.9980°, -164.6250°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 71 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
