Magnitude 5.2 earthquake strikes near Iquique, Provincia de Iquique, Tarapaca, Chile


A moderately shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported around noon near Iquique, Provincia de Iquique, Tarapaca, Chile.

According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Saturday 13 February 2021 at 1:49 pm local time at a moderately shallow depth of 43 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.

Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well.
