Small magnitude 3.7 earthquake 30 miles northwest of Anchor Point, Alaska, United States

An intermediate magnitude 3.7 earthquake was reported in the evening near Anchor Point, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Sunday, July 5th, 2026, at 9:36 pm local time at an intermediate depth of 71 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.7 as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Happy Valley (pop. 590, 28 miles away), Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 30 miles away), Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 42 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 43 miles away), Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 47 miles away), Kalifornsky (pop. 7,900, 51 miles away), and Kenai (pop. 7,700, 57 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
