There have been more than 150,000 earthquakes in the last several years, including more than thirty earthquakes registering magnitudes of six and higher. Three of the strongest earthquakes of the last ten were in Alaska. Even though there are many earthquakes in Alaska, most of them have occurred in unpopulated regions, and were too small to be felt.
Alaska has more than one-hundred active volcanic areas, more than any other state in the United States. Even though there are more volcanoes than other states, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, there has only been two eruptions since 1900.
The average low of Fairbanks, Alaska is seventeen degrees below zero. The average high temperature in January is one degree. However, the lowest temperature was negative eighty degrees at Prospect Creek Camp in 1971 and a high one-hundred temperature was recorded at Fort Yukon, Alaska in the summer of 1915.
