A highly unusual earthquake has just shook the North Pole. On May 26 at 03:27 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 at a depth of 6.2 miles occurred just 270 miles from the true north pole, the axis from which the earth spins. Just as interesting, 2 minutes prior, a magnitude 4.6 earthquake shook in the same region. In other words, the earthquakes were getting stronger. Could this be a foreshock to an event even larger? And what is the significance of the earthquake occurring so close to the north pole?
Historically, there have been earthquakes there before, according to a USGS historical chart, but they appear to have been fairly small. A magnitude 5 event is not small and is not large. I just find it interesting to see it up there in an unusual location, while wondering what’s going on with the stresses of the earth’s crust.
The magnetic north pole has been ‘shifting’ rapidly in the direction indicated in the image above. Who’s to say that it’s not somehow interconnected? It could all be coincidental.
All very interesting indeed…

I don’t know Ken I think you are quite right to bring this event to our attention.Your the first site I’ve seen it posted it on.Thank You to you and Mrs.MSB for keeping up this very reliable informative site,R
I too found it highly unusual to see the spot near the North Pole marked as having had an earthquake on the USGS maps. In the past few days, there were also numerous earthquakes in the Norwegian Sea. About one week ago, there was also an earthquake near Moose Factory/James Bay, Northern Ontario. All of these sites have been locations where I do not recall having seen earthquakes reported before, and I have been following USGS maps for years. Does anyone else have any comments about these unusual events?
READ THE BOOK OF MATTHEW CHAPTER 24: JESUS SAY THAT THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS OF THE EARTH WILL BEGIN WITH INCREASED EARTHQUAKES IN DIVERSE PLACES. I HAVE READ THE USGS SITE INFORMATION AND THAT THERE ARE ABOUT 5 TIMES FOR EARTHQUAKES NOW THAN BEFORE THE YEAR 2000. ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN WORLD WIDE 1.3 MILLION EARTHQUAKES THIS YEAR; AND 22,000 IN HAWAII SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF EARTHQUAKES IN THE PAST WAS ABOUT 250,000 PER YEAR. I HAVE STUDIED THE “WOBBLE” OF THE EARTH FROM CENTER POINT OF IT’S AXIS SINCE THE 1960’S AND SINCE THEN THE WOBBLE HAS INCREASE BY ABOUT 8 FOLD. THIS EFFECTS THE TECTONIC PLATE PRESSURE POINTS DIFFERENTLY NOW THAN 50 YEARS AGO. THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE PLACEMENT OF THE EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD AS IT SPINS THRU SPACE. THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THIS WOBBLE AND IT WILL GET WORSE. AT SOME POINT THE EARTH WILL “WOBBLE LIKE A DRUNKEN MAN IN SPACE”, THE VOLATILE MOVEMENT IN THE EARTHS LIQUID CORE IS PARTICIPATING NATURALLY IN THIS ON-GOING DYNAMIC. I HAVE TRIED TO RESEARCH THE WEIGHT OF THE OIL THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE EARTH AND FROM WHERE TO GET AN IDEA OF WHERE THE EARTHS WEIGHT HAS BEEN MOST EFFECTED. I GAVE UP ON THIS CALCULATION.. I LEAVE THAT TO SOMEONE ELSE TO ANALYSE IF THIS IS RELEVANT AT ALL AT SOME POINT IN THE END CYCLE OF THE WOBBLE THERE WILL BE TSUNAMIS THAT WILL DESTROY MANY COASTAL AREAS WORLDWIDE. i FIND THIS ALL ACADEMICALLY FASCINATING. AT SOME POINT I EXPECT THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH TO SLOW SOME, IT IT HASN’T HAPPENED ALREADY. I AM A JEWISH CHRISTIAN AND ENJOY SCIENCE AND BIBLICAL PROPHECY. WHAT IS NOW AND COMING IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE EARTH, ACCORDING TO JESUS IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 24.. IT IS GOING TO GET REAL BAD BEFORE OUR MESSIAH RETURNS TO EARTH; SCRIPTURE ALSO SAYS EVERY WALL ON EARTH WILL FALL. THE BOOK OF ISAIAH IS A GREAT READ. I HOPE YOU ALL KEEP YOUR HAND IN JESUS HAND AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AND DON’T LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED. THE BELIEVERS IN GOD WILL CONTINUE TO BE KILLED BY THE TRUCK LOAD. PREPARE YOUR HEART, NEVER GIVE UP YOUR LOVE OR FAITH. GOD REALLY IS IN CONTROL AND ALL THIS HAS BEEN FORETOLD. PEACE AND LOVE IN MESSIAH’S NAME–JESUS!
Too many people leaning left makin it wobble!
One thing that totally fascinates me that drives the wife crazy is when I spin a cover of a jar on the countertop and it spins and wobbles with increasing speed until she slams her fist down on it and we both laugh.
And it makes me wonder too about all those spin the bottle kissing games, was that due to global warming the way I always had to kiss the same pimple-faced girl?
And hey, I don’t know if you can hear me up there with my caps lock off but you’re coming in strong down here. Put a good word in there with Peter for me and the rest of us here and throw a rope down when you see things really going bad.
Wow, what a trip. I am going to be keeping a close eye on this. As you always do, please update this as it changes Ken! You are our eyes and ears to the world! Kinda makes me a bit nervous, but we shall see!
