Antarctica has been in the news lately too between the melting ice and now finding Palm Trees also lol. Thread: Palm trees 'grew on Antarctica' I don't even see any faults there! |

I have posted a link on my thread to here as well so people can see all the information.... Yeah, this is very weird indeed, the last earthquake to hit that spot was on the January 4th 2002 with a mag of 2.5... Hmmm, wonder if the msm will be all over this.. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 904314 Canada 08/03/2012 04:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] Icefire is an action/science fiction novel about an unknown group using the Ross Ice Shelf to create a soliton wave—much more powerful and destructive than tsunamis caused by seismic displacement—directed into the Pacific Ocean. Roughly the size of France, the Ross Ice Shelf is first broken free of its shoreline anchor points by tactical nuclear weapons detonated around its periphery. A larger nuclear device is then airburst above the Shelf, slamming the entire mass of loose ice into the Ross Sea beneath it and generating the monster wave. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 904314 There was this book called Icefire (if I recall correctly) where someone placed nukes and blew off a chunk of ice on some massive glacier, causing some kind of gravity wave tsunami to wreck havoc on the coast lines of the world Fault zones are far away and this is over a 5 magnitude in Antarctica! Would probably have to be some hardcore man mad crap to create an earthquake this large. All the Penguins probably pissed themselves! Or having a DOOM dance |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1646811 United Kingdom 08/03/2012 04:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very weird, I didn't know there were any fault lines even near this location in Antarctica. Quoting: bendinglight I wonder if the people at the base felt it, as it was only supposedly about 100 miles away. Imagine working on a base in Antarctica and then going through an earthquake lol. Weird. Here are some links: [link to earthquake.usgs.gov] [link to earthquake.usgs.gov] [link to astro.uchicago.edu] There doesn't need to be an active fault line anywhere near a location to produce a 5+ earthquake we've had a couple of 5+ here in the uk over the last 300 years it's rare granted but does happen |

This is very rare though for Antarctica and next to the largest population center there. |

Here is a source: [link to www.geonames.org] Yea, well look at where the station is, and look at the ice shelf in question next to it, and think nukes along the lower portion, and how that might register on a seismic reading [link to maps.google.ca] |

bendinglight (OP) User ID: 2143478 United States 08/03/2012 04:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Holy crap.. So these articles came out speaking about Palm Trees being found in Antarctica. Here is a quote from some searching: "The scientists used rock samples from drill cores on the seabed obtained off the coast of Wilkes Land, Antarctica, as part of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)." Well Wilkes Land, Antarctica is the same general region as where the McMurdo Station is where the Earthquake just was. Not super close, but you can see both locations on a map. So the Earthquake was near where they've been drilling??? Take a look on a map, to the right of Wilkes Land is where the McMurdo station is.: [link to geographic.org] Thread: Palm trees 'grew on Antarctica' Who knows, maybe just another coincidence.
