Best Answer

Earthquakes are not 'regular' on any continent.

Antarctica is especially quiet in the earthquake department, having last experienced one in 1973, according to FindTheData site. However, earthquakes that occur nearby cause ice-quakes on Antarctica, during which the ice shifts. (98% of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet.)
