An earthquake magnitude 7.1 to 1.862 kilometers northeast of the basis of Prat affected the Chilean Antarctic territory.
This was announced by Seismology of Chile through Twitter, where it was reported that the earthquake meets the conditions to generate a tsunami on the national coasts.
It is worth saying that in the beginning, the report pointed to an earthquake of 7.4 in the Richter, but with the passing of the minutes it was accurate as to its magnitude.
Earthquake of 7.1 in the South Atlantic (South Sandwich Islands region).
