Scientific paper

The interior regions of Antarctica and Greenland are aseismic: no earthquake larger than body-wave magnitude 4.5-5.0 is known for either, except along coastal zones or continental shelves. Here I advance an explanation for this lack of seismic activity in terms of pressure effects produced by the continental ice sheets that mantle both continents.
