No, that wasn’t your imagination....

Anyone thinking he or she was once again on shaky ground Wednesday evening was right.

Aftershocks from the two major earthquakes felt throughout the territory early Monday morning have continued since, with many feeling a shake measuring 4.6 last night.

The first earthquake on Monday that awoke many Yukoners at 5:31 a.m. measured 6.2 at the epicentre in the mountains between the South Klondike Highway and the Haines Highway.

Then, less than two hours later, at 7:18, another 6.3 quake was felt. Its epicentre was 66 kilometers northwest of Klukwan, Alaska, which sits along the Haines Highway.

Aftershocks continued to be felt throughout the day on Monday. Things seemed to settle a bit Tuesday and into Wednesday evening, until shortly before 8:30 p.m.

That’s when a number of Yukoners took to social media. Some wondered if they had really just felt another tremblor, or if it was their imagination taking over from Monday’s events.

Others were more certain they had indeed felt another temblor.

It wasn’t long before links and screen shots were being posted and shared from geological websites showing the 4.6 shake at 8:13 p.m. recorded 40 miles northwest of Klukwan – dispelling any confusion that the shake had been imagined.

It’s the largest of several seismic events in the area recorded yesterday and among an even longer list of after shocks that have been ongoing since Monday’s two quakes.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks’ earthquake centre website shows it had a depth of 12 miles. Further after shocks have continued.

Maurice Colpron is the head of the bedrock geology section of the Yukon Geological Survey.

This morning, he explained the aftershocks – including the one felt last night – are a readjusting of the tectonic plates after the two major earthquakes.

“It’s nothing unusual,” Colpron said.

The number of aftershocks has fallen in the days following the large quakes. “It will diminish with time.”

It’s unknown, though, exactly how long it will take before the aftershocks will end.

Following Monday’s quake, the Yukon Geological Survey released a video where Colpron explained the two temblors:

“These earthquakes appear because there was a build-up of energy around the Denali, Duke River fault systems, and yesterday we just had a sudden release of that energy.

“So that energy builds over time. As the tectonic plates pass each other, you’ll have a lock-up and build-up of energy which will be released in these dramatic events.”

The aftershocks come as fault lines readjust to the changes from the earthquake.

In the meantime, officials are still dealing with the quakes’ aftermath.

The Yukon government is continuing its assessment of the Ross River School, which has been closed since the earthquake, over concerns around possible structural damage. Field trips for students have been organized for the remainder of the week.

Meanwhile, Natalia Martinez, a 37-year-old mountain climber from Argentina, remains stranded on Mount Logan in Kluane Natunal Park after the earthquakes triggered avalanches.

Helicopters have been unable to reach her due to a storm, but the climber remains in close contact with Parks Canada as she waits out the storm.

Her partner, who’s in Whistler, B.C., has told national media outlets Martinez is tired, but safe and well-supplied.

It’s hoped she can be plucked off the mountain on Friday, but plans are weather-dependent.
