Significant events are ones that impacted the Alaskan people, shaped our understanding of earthquakes across the state, or are just plain fascinating. Significant events include large magnitude earthquakes, earthquake swarms, large landslides, large glacial-calving events, and tsunami-generating (tsunamigenic) events.

The interactive map presents events with dedicated content pages that include in-depth information and graphics. A chronological list of events is available below the map.
