Alaska’s North Slope hit by 6.4 magnitude earthquake – the strongest tremor ever measured in region
Alaska’s North Slope hit by 6.4 magnitude earthquake – the strongest tremor ever measured in region
- A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck on Sunday near the native Alaskan village of Kaktovik
- No tsunami alert was generated, though ground motion was felt as far away as Fairbanks, Alaska, nearly 400 miles to the south
- The quake had no impact on operations of the Trans Alaska Pipeline system that carries North Slope crude 800 miles to the marine terminal at Valdez
Alaska’s North Slope was hit Sunday by the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in the region, the state’s seismologist said.
At 6:58am Sunday, the magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck an area 42 miles east of Kavik River Camp and 343 miles northeast of Fairbanks, the state’s second-biggest city.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake had a depth of about 6 miles.
State seismologist Mike West told the Anchorage Daily News that the earthquake was the biggest recorded in the North Slope by a substantial amount.

‘This is a very significant event that will take us some time to understand,’ he told the Daily News.
The previous most powerful quake in the North Slope was in 1995 at magnitude 5.2, West told the newspaper.
The jump from a 5.2 to Sunday’s 6.4 is significant because earthquakes rapidly grow in strength as magnitude rises, he said. ……more here
