GeoPhys Info: Earthquakes in Alaska
    Alaska has more quakes than the rest of the US States put together.

There was a flurry of earthquake activity near Glacier Bay, and since I'd been there not too long before that, it sparked my curiosity.  While earthquakes are no big deal to Alaska, it didn't seem to me that larger ones were common in that area...

  A friend of mine sent me a couple of links after reading my post about it in the Daily Update, and one of them led me to this awesome map that pretty much explains where the major fault regions are... very interesting!
