Antarctica is a 'quiet' continent when it comes to earthquakes. However, the seismological sensors there can tell the hemisphere in which earthquakes occur. When a quake occurs in the northern hemisphere, the ink tip begins its curve above the graph's mid-line; and the opposite is also true.

What may be important, however, is not so much earthquakes as ice quakes which occur as ice shelves deteriorate.
