New Zealand shaken...

by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake centered near Christchurch.  The tremor caused the Tasman Glacier to calve large blocks of ice into the terminal lake.  Here's the technical info for the tremor from the USGS.

A fellow graduate student buddy of mine hails from Christchurch, and I wish him and his family well.
