Typical directional features of intraplate stresses are extracted from focal mechanism solutions of earthquakes in the Antarctic plate. Typical directions of stresses are obtained in the following regions, 1) Bellingshausen Sea, 2) south of Juan-Fernandez microplate, 3) Balleny Island region and 4)...
