The largest earthquake in a number of years struck close to the UK’s coast. Numerous earthquakes have been reported nationwide since the beginning of 2025, with nine occurring.
In the first two weeks. But the ninth and most recent one, which registered a massive 4.1 on the Richter scale, was larger than anything we’ve seen in years, according.
To the British Geological Society. The epicenter was around 395 kilometers off the northeast coast of Lerwick, Shetland Islands, and 220 kilometers off Bergen, Norway.
Even though it didn’t appear like the UK would experience it, the BGS was able to detect it since it was powerful enough, and they discovered that it hit 16 kilometers below the surface.
