The depth of the quake could not be determined, but is assumed to be shallow.The quake was not felt (or at least not reported so).Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in Iceland | Jan Mayen | Northeast | NorthwestModerate magnitude 4.7 earthquake at unknown depth8 Jul 04:26 UTC: First to report: GFZ after 5 minutes.8 Jul 04:27: Now using data updates from EMSC...

Epicenter location corrected by 8.4 km (5.2 mi) towards SSW.8 Jul 04:33: Now using data updates from USGSUpdate Wed, 8 Jul 2026, 04:27Significant magnitude 5.2 quake hits 73 km northeast of Olonkinbyen, Svalbard & Jan Mayen early morningA shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported early morning near Olonkinbyen, Jan Mayen, Svalbard & Jan Mayen.According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Wednesday, July 8th, 2026, at 6:21 am local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.Weak shaking might have been felt in Olonkinbyen (pop. 14) located 73 km from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

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 5 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 8, 2026 06:21 am (GMT +2)15 minutes ago4.710 km0 km - This quake61 km ENE of Olonkinbyen, Svalbard And Jan MayenMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 350 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 10.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.61 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.7 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 3.8 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 20.6 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 130 quakes per year (or 10.8 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 328 quakes per year (or 27.3 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 12 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 39 weeks after a magnitude 5.2 earthquake had hit on Sunday, Oct 5, 2025, at 11:08 am local time (Arctic/Longyearbyen GMT +2) in 29 km (18 mi) distance to the west:Mag. 5.2 earthquake 40 km NE of Olonkinbyen - Svalbard And Jan Mayen - Oct 5, 2025 - The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 6.5.
