Just saw this—a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the South Shetland Islands back in March. USGS recorded it at 17.2 km depth, pretty significant. Happened in the Antarctic region, so not many people around to feel it directly. The thing that gets me is how these massive quakes in remote areas barely make headlines unless something actually breaks. No major damage reported from what I can find, but still wild how much energy that releases. Ever notice how a 7.0 earthquake somewhere remote gets less attention than minor tremors near populated areas?
