6.4 magnitude earthquake strikes volcanic islands near Antarctica

From The Star Advisor, via The Extinction Protocol:

October 9, 2012 – ANTARTICA – A preliminary 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck 452 miles northwest of the Balleny Islands region early this morning at 2:32 a.m., but presented no tsunami threat to Hawaii, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The earthquake struck at a depth of about 6.3 miles. The Balleny Islands are a series of uninhabited volcanic islands that are part of Antarctica.

Noted, as Patrick Geryl has some alignment concerns this weekend, and an active Sun region is rotating towards us.

Are earthquakes destabilizing tectonic plates across the globe?

From Croatian Times via The Extinction Protocol.  Excerpts:

A leading earthquake scientist has warned that the planet could be cracking up after a series of massive quakes in just 48 hours. Expert Gheorghe Marmureanu – from Romania’s National Institute of Earth Physics – says 39 quakes had hit the globe within two days. The series started with two massive quakes in Indonesia measuring 8.6 and 8.2 on the Richter scale rapidly followed by three more only slightly smaller in Mexico within hours.
..
 With the Indonesian quake for example, statistically, there should be one big earthquake in this part of Asia every 500 years. However, since 2004, there were already three quakes with a magnitude of over 8, which is not normal.

Moderate 5.5 earthquake and aftershocks rattle southern Greece

A moderate earthquake measuring 5.5 magnitude on the Richter scale jolted southern Pelopponese in Greece on Monday noon, local media cited the Euromediterranean Seismic Institute as saying. The earthquakes were followed by 4.8 and 4.7 aftershocks.

Then there's the strange case of the "Fabiangropen," or "Fabian Pit," Sweden's very scary sinkhole..  If I were a Swedish bird owner living next to this awakening Earth Monster, I'd definitely teach my parrot the phrase "Portal to Hell!  Portal to Hell!"  Anything to mask the horror, you know..   Check out the pictures;  The rising smoke is a nice touch, no?  It's also loud, with tremors lasting up to 45 minutes. 

And just now:  6.5 - Chile..
