Characteristic Seismic Waves Associated with Cryosphere Dynamics in Eastern Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica
Figure 18
Globally complied seismicity around Wilkes Land, East Antarctica for 1964–2002 by the International Seismological Centre (ISC). The aftershock area of the large Balleny Island Earthquake (1998 March, ) is included on the map in the Antarctic Oceanic Plate. A complexity of the surface bedrock structure might be influenced by tectonically weakened upper crust along with the present mobile belts, forced by the Tasmania microplate. It is also noticed that there is significant a number of subglacial lakes and occurrence of local seismic activities including ice-quakes.
