People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of  Chile, Santiago, 152 km (95 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been

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 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jun 3, 2026 06:54 pm (GMT -4)12 minutes ago4.010 km0 km - This quakeSouth Pacific Ocean, Region del Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins, 65 km SW of San Antonio, San Antonio, Region de Valparaiso, ChileMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 231 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.04 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 25 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.39 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.6 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 7.7 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 23.6 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 110 quakes per year (or 9.2 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 236 quakes per year (or 19.7 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 238 quakes per year (or 19.8 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 5 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 25 to 30 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 19 minutes after a magnitude 4.1 earthquake had hit on Wednesday, Jun 3, 2026, at 06:36 pm (GMT -4 local time) in 9.5 km (5.9 mi) distance to the northeast:Mag. 4.1 earthquake South Pacific Ocean - Region de Valparaiso, Chile - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.6.
