Earthquakes in Greenland — June 2025
4 earthquakes were recorded in Greenland during June 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
4 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Greenland was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake near Tasiilaq, Greenland on 25 June 2025 at 06:13 UTC. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake radiates roughly 85 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is well above the Greenland monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 4 in the magnitude 4 range.
Activity peaked on 25 June, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M4.5 near Tasiilaq, Greenland on 25 June at 10 km; M4.5 near Tasiilaq, Greenland on 21 June at 10 km; M4.3 near Tasiilaq, Greenland on 26 June at 10 km.
That is 122% above the 2 events Greenland averages per month across the 5 months on record.
