An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 occurred in the morning on Friday, January 16th, 2026, at 9:35 am local time near Elfin Cove, Hoonah-Angoon, Alaska, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 0.6 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 3.5 earthquake.Based on the preliminary…
