A lot of shaking going on...

We have a seismometer in school, which is connected to the global seismometer network. It is located in a courtyard in the Senior school near the Physics Department.
In November 2018, there was an earthquake on the Jan Mayen Islands, north of Iceland and the seismometer picked it up very clearly. Magnitude 6.8.
You can read more about the earthquake here if you want to know more.


Thanks to my colleague Mr. Jermy for sending through the image.
