This is what I have been waiting for. Some activity in the boundary between the Austral-Indian / Pacific Plate. Now, lets just wait for some "good" activity in The Mid Atlantic Ridge and Triple Junction between the Antarctic Plate / Nazca Plate and Pacific Plate. In the Easter Island / Pacific Rise region. I guess then we would see some "real" reaction further north of "today's" Chile quakes.

There was activity at Easter Island region a few days back and today's 5.5 is one of 3 - 4 in NZ area in last 2 days.
