Small magnitude 3.6 earthquake 30 miles southwest of Kalifornsky, Alaska, United States

An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred early morning on Monday, February 9th, 2026, at 5:31 am local time near Kalifornsky, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 58 miles. 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.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Ninilchik (pop. 880, 20 miles away), Cohoe (pop. 1,400, 29 miles away), Kalifornsky (pop. 7,900, 30 miles away), Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 34 miles away), Kenai (pop. 7,700, 36 miles away), Soldotna (pop. 4,500, 40 miles away), Ridgeway (pop. 2,000, 40 miles away), and Nikiski (pop. 4,500, 41 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
