Mw 8.0 South Sandwich Islands Region

updated 28 September 2023

report

On 12 August 2021 a great earthquake occurred at South Sandwich Islands Region at a depth of 60 km. The seismic event occurred at 18:35:22 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 8.0.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a series and convergence of planetary conjunctions from 9 to 11 August 2021.

A series of 5 planetary conjunctions occurred from 7 to 11 August. The first conjunction on 7 August was with Venus, the Sun and Uranus, which was anticipated to initiate the strong electrical currents that were expected to peak around 10 August. The Next planetary conjunction occurred on 9 August with the Sun, Mercury and Mars. A critical convergence of planetary conjuctions followed on 10 August. The first conjunction with Venus, Earth and Neptune occurred just after midnight. The second conjunction with Mercury, the Sun and Neptune occurred 3 hours later. The fifth planetary conjunction occurred early on 11 August with Mercury, Earth and Neptune. With the planetary geometry some critical lunar conjunctions occurred on 8 (Saturn), 9 (Jupiter), 10 (Mars) and 11 (Neptune) August. Multiple warnings were issued for 10-14 August when at least one or two major tremors were expected to occur. In total 5 major tremors occurred from 11 to 14 August. It is one of the strongest clustering of major earthquakes in recent decades.

Obvious atmospheric fluctions were recorded (for the first time) near the longitude over the South Sandwhich Islands and the Caribbean.
