Wow, 3 notable events back to back south of Kodiak Island just now. Now one has reported them felt yet, but they were fairly shallow. Two magnitudes 4 and a M5.1. Let us know if you feel anything, and click on the Did You Feel It? link on the event page to let the USGS know as well!

It's not field season for us in AK yet, but the team is itching to go! They will spend this and next month in trainings and repairs. Anyone want to play "caption that photo"? Put your best caption in the comments below, and then we'll tell you what they are actually doing.

Just before midnight (11:52pm AKST) there was M5.9 earthquake south of Kiska Island. It was about 31 miles deep. Pretty typical subduction zone earthquake. We don't have reports of it being felt. Here is what it looks like on nearby stations.

As of this morning, our data analysts have worked through ~180 aftershocks above magnitude 3 from yesterday's large earthquake near the Hubbard Glacier. While we have not detected landslides, note that this event was on the same fault system that led to the 1958 Lituya Bay tsunami.

We have updated the Hubbard Glacier Earthquake that happened at 11:41 am to a magnitude 7. More than 20 aftershocks over magnitude 3 have followed the mainshock so far, with the largest aftershocks ranging from M4 to M5.1.
