Mw 6.6 South Sandwich Islands Region
updated 24 November 2022

On 27 August 2019 a strong earthquake occurred at the South Sandwich Islands Region at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 23:55:17 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.6.

From 21 to 25 August four critical planetary conjunctions occurred, which coincided with two critical lunar conjunctions involving Jupiter and Saturn on 24 and 26 August. In addition, several planetary right and semi-right angles occurred that resulted in several strong seismic events from 20 to 29 August, while no strong earthquakes occurred from 5 to 19 August.
