M 6 earthquake near western Indian-Antarctic Ridge.
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred near the western Indian-Antarctic Ridge, which is an underwater mountain range in the southern Indian Ocean where tectonic plates are spreading apart. While earthquakes of this size are relatively common globally, this event adds to our understanding of seismic activity in remote oceanic regions where few people live and the risk to human populations is minimal.
