2025-06-04 20:20:06 UTC (2025-06-04) · approx. 9:20 AM UTC-11 local
On June 4, 2025 at 20:20 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 6 km SE of Unalaska, Alaska, at a depth of 13.2 km and coordinates 53.8336°, -166.4547°.
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.
