An intermediate magnitude 4.2 earthquake was reported in the morning near Anchor Point, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Saturday, July 5th, 2025, at 10:15 am local time at an intermediate depth of 63 miles. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 4.2 as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.2.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Happy Valley (pop. 590) located 26 miles from the epicenter, Anchor Point (pop. 1,900) 28 miles away, Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200) 40 miles away, Homer (pop. 5,500) 42 miles away, Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900) 46 miles away, Cohoe (pop. 1,400) 47 miles away, Kalifornsky (pop. 7,900) 49 miles away, and Kenai (pop. 7,700) 56 miles away.
