WEEK SEISMICITY REPORT FOR JUNE 9, 2025 TO JUNE 15, 2025

During the week of June 9, 2025, the Alaska Earthquake Center reported 410 earthquakes within the state. The largest earthquake was magnitude 4.7 that occurred on June 11 at 12:36:18 AKDT (June 11, 20:36:18 UTC), 38 miles S of Adak.

There were 3 events reported as felt this week. The first was a magnitude 3.9 earthquake 8 miles SE of Skwentna that occurred on June 10 at 04:28:19 AKDT. This event was felt around Anchorage and Fort Richardson. We have recorded 5 aftershocks from this event, the largest being a magnitude 2.8. Then on June 13 at 11:17:06 AKDT, a magnitude 4.3 earthquake occurred 3 miles NW of Iliamna Volcano, and was reported as felt throughout Anchorage and Cook Inlet.

Finally, on June 14 at 06:32:06 AKDT a magnitude 4.2 earthquake occurred 28 miles NW of Central, shaking the ground in the Fairbanks area. This final felt event is particularly interesting because it occurred on the Tintina Fault.

Additionally, 5 ice quakes were recorded this week in the Prince William Sound and Yakutat regions, and 1 quarry blast was detected.
