Recent seismic activity has sparked interest and concern around the world. In Alaska, the Redoubt Volcano experienced a minor M1.4 earthquake, attributed to faults and folds in the Cook Inlet basin and the Castle Mountain Fault. Similarly, Mt. Chiginagak encountered a M2.2 quake, linked to the Kodiak Shelf Fault Zone and the volcanic arc. Moving south, the Okmok Caldera shook with a M4.3 quake, occurring at a depth of 24.7 miles. In the Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda felt a magnitude 3.6 earthquake, while Puerto Madero in Mexico experienced a magnitude-5.0 offshore quake, fortunately without any damage.

Diving deeper into the Alaskan quakes, the 1912 M7+ earthquakes near Mt. Chiginagak left a lasting impact on the region's seismic history. On the other hand, the UWI Seismic Research Center closely monitors seismic activities near Antigua and Barbuda to ensure preparedness and safety. Lastly, the earthquake near Puerto Madero serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of seismic events, highlighting the importance of monitoring and early warning systems.
