Local earthquakes Recorded at Syowa Station, Antarctica
The Japanese Antarctic Station Syowa (69°S, 39°E) is located at the edge of the East Antarctic Shield area. Seismic observations at Syowa Station were started in 1959. Phase readings of earthquakes have published by the National Institute of Polar Research as one of the JARE Data Report once a year...
