On June 24, 2026 at 02:19 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 199 km SSW of Akhiok, Alaska, at a depth of 52.0 km and coordinates 55.3020°, -155.4450°.
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.
