2026-09-28 18:23:11 UTC (4 days ago) · approx. 8:23 AM UTC-10 local
On September 28, 2026 at 18:23 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 25 km N of Fox River, Alaska, at a depth of 51.0 km and coordinates 60.0910°, -150.9460°.
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.
