I didn’t feel anything.
You?
I think it’s caused by the weight of the ice. The ice sheets at the South Pole set a record this year — Global Warming, don’t ya know ;)
Attack of the Magma Man.
(Wonder how long it will be before “It’s Bush’s fault” comes up in the MSM, linking this to global warming and their immediate question about global warming, “melting the Antarctic Ice Cap”, or this earthquake being influenced by “the melting of the ice cap” - when, in fact, the Antarctic Ice Cap is growing and getting colder???
Global Warming, the sky is falling....Global Warming!!!
Marking for future reference - is it an anomaly, pattern or trend? Hmmm...

Definitely odd.
Earthquake hits Antarctica - Penguins and leopard seals hit hardest.

I was watching the Greenland melt but this puts the Ross Shelf back on top.

Whose fault is it this week, Bush or Rush? I lost track.
Hope those NBC nuts got a jolt here.
What do you expect? Global warming has melted away part of the shelf and made it overbalanced on its right side.........If any more melting occurs it's quite likely to flip over completely.
“What’s Putin been up to?”
It’s probably the secret Nazi UFO base doing a little expansion.
