A pair of mid range earthquakes have rumbled off the southern tip of Haida Gwaii over the last forty eight hours, the largest and most recent recorded today in Queen Charlotte Sound 200 kilometres to the West of Bella Bella.
The seismic event listed at 4.6 magnitude was recorded at 3:17 Friday morning.
Yesterday a smaller temblor at 3.7 was recorded further north, centred 41 kilometres west of Port Clements it struck at 10:32 on Thursday evening, no reports of damage were made from Island residents.
No Tsunami concerns were created by the two quakes.
The twin events make for the latest of a string of similar sized seismic rumbles to be located in the Sound between Haida Gwaii and Vancouver Island.
