Local earthquakes recorded at the King Sejong station (62° 13′31″S, 58° 47′07″W) from 1995–96 have been analysed to study the seismicity and tectonics around the northern Antarctic Peninsula. The nature of shallow-focused normal fault earthquakes along the South Shetland Platform is still unclear. D...
