On July 20, 2026 at 00:10 UTC, a magnitude 2.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 58 km S of Glacier View, Alaska, at a depth of 5.2 km and coordinates 61.2820°, -147.6690°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 239 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 52 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
