- The 1998 Balleny Islands earthquake was a very large magnitude 8.1 earthquake which struck a remote area of the Southern Ocean in the afternoon of Wednesday, 25 March 1998. Its epicentre was located roughly 450 km (280 mi) north of George V Land and roughly 700 km (435 mi) northwest of the Balleny Islands in Antarctica. Due to the remote location of the earthquake, there were no reports of anyone feeling any shaking or any damage being caused. The event was a complex intraplate earthquake within the Antarctic Plate. To date it is tied as the largest recorded earthquake in Antarctica along with two other earthquakes near the South Sandwich Islands in 1929 and 2021, and is the largest recorded earthquake to have been caused by post-glacial rebound. The earthquake occurred in an area which previously had very little seismic activity, and so such a large event was unprecedented in the seismic record. (en)
