2026-07-26 14:57:09 UTC (1 day ago) · approx. 2:57 AM UTC+12 local
On July 26, 2026 at 14:57 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 228 km ESE of Attu Station, Alaska, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 52.0046°, 176.2529°.
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.
