Small magnitude 3.7 earthquake 39 miles northwest of Anchor Point, Alaska, United States

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake near Anchor Point, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA, was reported only 3 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate depth of 72 miles beneath the epicenter in the morning on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 11:36 am local time. 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake 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, 39 miles away), Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 39 miles away), Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 51 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 52 miles away), Cohoe (pop. 1,400, 57 miles away), and Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 57 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
