An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred in the morning on Tuesday, June 17th, 2025, at 11:13 am local time near Eagle River, Anchorage, Alaska, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 12 miles. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.6 as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Knik River (pop. 740) located 29 miles from the epicenter, Lazy Mountain (pop. 1,500) 34 miles away, Butte (pop. 3,200) 35 miles away, and Sutton-Alpine (pop. 1,400) 36 miles away.
