The Earthquake Park reminds and informs about the worst earthquake that hit the North American continent so far.
The quake began on March 27, 1964 at 5:36 p.m. and shook the earth for about four and a half minutes. The epicenter was about 120 kilometers southeast of Anchorage in Prince William Sound. The quake was measured with a value of 9.2 Mw on the moment magnitude scale. A large part of Anchorage was completely destroyed by the quake. The tsunami waves triggered by the quake are said to have reached a maximum height of 67 meters. Only because of the relatively sparsely populated areas, the number of victims, compared to other large earthquakes, turned out to be "low" at 169.
In the Earthquake Park, information boards are used to inform about the quake of 1964, also known as the Good Friday quake or the Great Alaska quake.
