Scientists report unusual seismic activity in Antarctica: over 30,000 tremors The earthquakes range from 0.9 to 5.6 magnitude and took place from August to November. More than 30,000 tremors have occurred since the end of August in the Antarctic peninsula, according to a report from the National Seismological Center of Chile. The researchers linked them to the movement of tectonic plates but said the number was unusual and could in fact even be larger.
