The main factors that contribute to this evaluation are:The maximum expected ground shaking from this quake was unlikely to reach dangerous levels over populated areas; it should not have surpassed intensity III (Weak) on the MMI scale significantly.The quake appears to have occurred far from densely populated areas (far as in relation to its magnitude).CommentOverall, the population in this region resides in structures that are a mix of vulnerable and earthquake resistant construction. The predominant vulnerable building types are adobe block with concrete bond beam and unreinforced brick with concrete floor construction.There were no earthquakes with significant population exposure to shaking within a 400 km radius of this event.Source: USGSGreen alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. There is a low likelihood of casualties and damage.Expected fatalitiesThe risk of fatalities from this quake is considered low and classified as Level GREEN, the lowest on a color scale from Green (low) to Red (very high). USGS estimates that there is a 65.3% chance that there are no direct fatalities as effect of shaking and a 30.2% chance that between 1 and 10 fatalities occurred. The likelihood that there are more than 100 fatalities is less than 1%.Expected economic damageThe economic impact of this earthquake is expected to be minimal or small (Level GREEN). Only light damage if any should have occurred. USGS calculates an 65.3% chance of total economic loss in the range of 0-1 million US Dollars and a 30.2% risk of losses between 1 and 10 million US Dollars. Total economic loss from this quake is not likely to surpass 10 million US Dollars (less than 1% chance).

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 25 km2 (10 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 9 km (5 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jun 10, 2025 04:07 am (Universal Time)24 minutes ago5.435 km0 km - This quakeSouth Atlantic Ocean, 162 km NW of Visokoi Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 58 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.34 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 10.5 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 57 quakes per year (or 4.7 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 68 quakes per year (or 5.7 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 68 quakes per year (or 5.7 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 42 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 1 to 5 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 21 minutes after a magnitude 5.4 earthquake had hit on Tuesday, Jun 10, 2025, at 03:46 am local time (Universal Time GMT +0) in 13.2 km (8 mi) distance to the southwest:Mag. 5.4 earthquake South Atlantic Ocean - 156 km northwest of Visokoi Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 7.3.
