Tsunamis in Antarctica, a statistical analysis

This study investigates earthquake activity in the Antarctic region, analyzing data spanning from 1980 to 2024 (M ≥ 5.0, with a maximum recorded magnitude M=8.1). Utilizing a dataset bounded by the 50th southern parallel, the research focuses on constructing and examining the Gutenberg–Richter recurrence law. Using the normal distribution law and the lognormal distribution, graphs of the normal distribution of earthquake magnitudes and the recurrence law of earthquake magnitudes for the Antarctic region for the period under consideration are constructed. This analysis provides crucial insights into the seismicity patterns of the Antarctic region.
