Arctic Earthquake Triggers Major Avalanches and Serac Falls
Last week, a magnitude 7 earthquake ripped through the Hubbard Glacier, on the Alaska-Yukon border. Now, fieldwork by the Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) has revealed localized avalanches and serac falls. The reaction of the Hubbard Glacier to this earthquake offers warnings to mountaineers climbing on a warming planet.

If it occurred in a densely populated area, the 2025 Hubbard Glacier earthquake could easily have killed thousands of people. Instead, it killed no one. In the mountaineering off-season, the American Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and the Canadian Kluane National Park lie abandoned by humans. Territorial lines notwithstanding, they both sit on the Hubbard Glacier, a roughly 100-km stretch of ice beginning at Mt. Hubbard and ending at Disenchantment Bay.
