A study by Ralph Starr of Cornell and Lawrence Martin of Wisconsin reports the Yakutat Bay quake of historic significance. It notes ground uplift of 47 feet, widespread tremors felt up to 670 to 1200 miles away, and a vast affected area of 1.49 million square miles, with no fatalities due to sparse population.
