During the month of October 2022, the Alaska Earthquake Center reported 4136 earthquakes within the state. The largest earthquake was magnitude 4.9 that occurred on October 26th at 01:30:51 AKST (October 26, 09:30:51 UTC), 32 miles S of Sand Point.

Twenty three more earthquakes had magnitude 4.0-4.8. There were 26 earthquakes reported as felt. The two largest numbers of DYFI responses, 600 and 327, came from the the M4.8 earthquake 44 miles SE of Sutton on October 6th, and the M4.2 28 miles E of Palmer on October 30th respectively. These earthquakes rattled the south-central Alaska.

We located earthquakes in Bering Sea: a M4.7 event 17 miles E of St George and a M4.2 and M3.7 39 miles S of Gambell in St Laurence Island.  

In October,  we also reported 191 ice quakes, primarily located in the Prince William Sound, Icy Bay and Yakutat Bay  areas as well as glacier swarms near Wright Glacier NE of Juneau and Mt. Spurr's Pothole glacier, and 28 suspected quarry blasts.

We continue to monitor seismic activity within  Anchorage, offshore Kodiak, Simeonof-Chignik, and Purcell Mt aftershock zones as well as crustal seismic activity in Brooks Range, Seward Peninsula and  Bering Strait.
