5.1 Earthquake right near McMurdo Station in Antarctica

Last EQ there, over 10 years ago...

keep posting stuff at the same time lol!

Yeah dude, very weird!

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!

Someone's nuking the ice?

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

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..

[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.

Actually that McMurdo base plays a big part in the initial story

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

lol well a nuke for that ice shelf next to the station would show up like this, possibly?

Of ALL the places a large earthquake could hit in Antarctica.. one hits right next to a base with the largest population center in all of Antarctica.

Coincidence?

Here is a source:

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

Well yeah anything is possible on Earth.
This is very rare though for Antarctica and next to the largest population center there.

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

Gigantic tsunami cannon aimed right at us (and eastern asia of course)

It's center of the Ross ice shelf, I smell Al Gore blameing global warming

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.:

Who knows, maybe just another coincidence.

Due to some freak law of physics some mega-pocket of methane-like gases is gathered up down there on the arse end of the world, and their drilling has triggered a flatulence?

lol, who knows.

Thread: Mega Volcano Active Now near surface in Antarctica , Proved !


Than take a look at this old volcano Caldera measuring a woapping 400 x 300 Km ! Note the huge Discharge Tail that was dug by melted water pouring out of the errupting volcano .
