The quake had a very shallow depth of 3.2 km (2 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in the US | AlaskaHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Moderate magnitude 4.9 earthquake at 3 km depth16 Jul 02:10 UTC: First to report: USGS after 2 minutes.16 Jul 02:16: Magnitude recalculated from 4.7 to 4.9.

The earthquake hit early evening on Wednesday, July 15th, 2026, at 6:07 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 0.6 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report. Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Ahleknuguk (pop. 230) located 65 miles from the epicenter.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 8 km2 (3 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 15, 2026 06:07 pm (GMT -8)23 minutes ago4.93.2 km0 km - This quake106 km NNW of Aleknagik, AlaskaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeNo significant quakes had occurred near the quake's epicenter during the 10 years prior to the earthquake.Strongest in 127 yearsThe earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of the United States since at least the beginning of the previous century (our records start in 1900).
