A 6.1 magnitude earthquake has rocked an isolated island off the coast of Australia.
Late Saturday night, an earthquake struck west of Macquarie Island, some 1,600 kilometers southeast of Tasmania.
It had a depth of 10 kilometers and was felt just after 11 p.m.
There has been no damage recorded.
A 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck the island just two weeks earlier.
The Australian Antarctic Division station, which is inhabited all year, is located on Macquarie Island.
Since 1997, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is home to vast colonies of penguins and seals.
Because it sits on the border between the Australian and Pacific plates, the island is extremely active in terms of seismic activity.
In 1989, the island had an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.2, the greatest intra-oceanic earthquake of the twentieth century, and another earthquake with a magnitude of 8.1 in 2004.
A 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck the island in December of last year.
