Totschunda Fault

The Totschunda Fault is a major active dextral (right-lateral) continental strike-slip fault in southeastern Alaska. It forms a link between the Denali Fault to the northwest and the Fairweather Fault to the southeast. The northwestern end of the fault ruptured during the 2002 Denali earthquake.[1]
