Abstract
Newly discovered earthquakes in West Antarctica provide the first documentation of seismicity in the region. The data presented here indicate that the ice sheet does not suppress seismicity as has been previously proposed. However, the observed earthquake pattern suggests the West Antarctic rift system is no longer actively extending.
