M 6.0 - 76km SSW of Ust'-Kamchatsk Staryy, Russia

M 6.3 - 111km E of Visokoi Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands

M 6.3 - Southern East Pacific Rise
181114-15  UT M6.2 Kamchatka Penin, 6.3 Sandwich Isl, 6.3 EPR zhi annotated.GIF
Interesting to note that there is no obvious S wave arrival for the 6.3 from South Sandwich Isl. reg.
Quite probably that I am in the S-wave shadow zone.

the very bottom trace on the seismogram

"Mother Earth's" last ditch effort to catch up on the lagging averages for the year hahaha

Note the much higher frequency content of this latest event compared to the two immediately above it
only around 2850km from my location/seismic station.Dave
