An earthquake of 6.2 magnitude -- the biggest in Norwegian history -- jolted the sparsely populated Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic on Wednesday night, the Norsar seismic research institute said on Thursday.
"This is the biggest earthquake on Norwegian territory in history," the institute said in a statement.
"The earthquake happened at sea about 10 km (six miles) below the surface, and was felt strongly in (the Norwegian town of) Longyearbyen."

The World for People who Think
What I find interesting is that seismologists fail to see the connection between all the recent worldwide earthquakes. They still treat them as isolated events. Or perhaps they do see the connection, but not allowed or willing to talk. (Or maybe attribute it to a Global Warming?)
Recently there was a high earthquakes activity in our region (Middle East) and the so called experts said that this is a normal occurrence for our area (although we are overdue for a large one), something to be expected etc...So how come all the natives here say that those frequent earthquakes are NOT normal occurrence? And now there is this earthquake in Norway - the BIGGEST in Norway history. It really seems as if something is up on a global scale.
