String of Earthquakes Shakes Up Pribilof Islands

The Pribilof Islands arent usually prone to shaking. But more than a dozen earthquakes have been recorded in between St. Paul and St. George since Friday afternoon.

Michael West, the director of the Alaska Earthquake Information Center, describes the activity as a swarm.

That is, a cluster of earthquakes that are responding to some stress in the earth that appears to be releasing itself kind of incrementally, West says.

Most of the earthquakes have been around magnitude 4.0, although five of them exceeded 5.0M.

Residents in St. Paul and St. George have been feeling the effects. But as of Sunday afternoon, there were no reports of damage in either community. And there were no tsunami warnings, either.

The National Tsunami Warning Center will only issue an alert for Unalaska and Sand Point if the earthquakes grow stronger above a magnitude 7.0.

This is a special region in Alaska, says science officer Paul Huang. Its unlike the front part of the Aleutians. The water [around the Pribilofs] is shallower, so we have a different criteria.

Its been over 20 years since the Pribilof Islands saw a significant earthquake. A magnitude 6.7 quake struck north of St. George in 1991, sending a small tsunami across the Bering Sea.

But other than that, the Pribilofs have been pretty quiet. Theyre not affected by subduction along the Aleutian Chain, which causes a lot of seismic activity in the region.
