Over 700 landslides and avalanches mapped after M7.0 2025 Hubbard Glacier Earthquake

"A strong M7.0 oblique-slip earthquake struck beneath the Hubbard Glacier in the St. Elias
Mountains, about 89 km (55 miles) north of Yakutat, Alaska, at 11:40 AKST (20:40 UTC). The quake triggered widespread ground failures, with over 700 landslides and snow avalanches identified across Alaska and Canada. The largest and most concentrated slope failures occurred within a 16 km (10 miles) wide band along the estimated fault rupture."
