Mw 6.5 Jan Mayen Island Region
report
On 10 March 2025 a strong earthquake occurred at Jan Mayen Island Region at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 02:33:14 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.5.
The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a near convergence of lunar and planetary geometry around 9 March 2025.
A convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry occurred on 5 March when Mercury and Venus were engaged in two planetary conjunctions just 7 hours apart, following a lunar conjunction with Uranus. Intitial seismic response was moderate (M 5.5), but a strong tremor (Mw 6.1) followed on the lunar conjunction with Jupiter on the 6th. Moderate to strong tremors (M 5.7) occurred with the next lunar conjunction with Mars early on 9 March. By that time Earth was already closely aligned with Mercury and Venus, a planetary conjunction which became exact on the 11th. A temporal cluster of moderate to strong earthquakes (M 5.6 - 6.0) occurrred on 11 and 12 March.
