No tsunami expected after large Antarctic earthquake
Even though it was a big quake, experts say it did not create a threat of a tsunami, which are giant, dangerous waves.
Because it is better to be safe, officials told people there to stay away from beaches just in case.
They also said this quake does not put any people in Chile’s southern towns in danger. It happened deep under the water in a place called the Drake Passage.
