6.2 Magnitude Quake Strikes South Sandwich Islands
An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 struck the South Sandwich Islands in the southern Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 125.9 kilometers, according to the United States Geological Survey. The region experiences frequent seismic activity due to its location at the intersection of the South American and Antarctic tectonic plates. In August 2021, the area was hit by a powerful earthquake exceeding 8 degrees, without any human or material losses, as it is a remote and uninhabited region.
