Animation of Sentinel-1 radar backscatter satellite imagery from November 28th and December 9th, 2025, showing the changes in surface roughness after the M7.0 Hubbard Glacier Earthquake. The lighter regions have rougher surface areas. The colored points correspond to preliminary mapping of potential mass movements.
