On October 24, 2026 at 05:58 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 108 km NNE of Arctic Village, Alaska, at a depth of 10.4 km and coordinates 69.0690°, -144.8510°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
