Since the chart changes, I'll confirm that at the time of my post the only large peak on EQF chart is indeed near 67 W.

First time I've caught that EQF confirms that his program preferentially puts peaks where earthquakes have been occurring.

EQF, over the last few years there have been very many quakes in swarms near Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. At least part of this is because Puerto Rico is sort of part of USA and thus USGS list includes all quakes M2.5 or more. For subduction zones in other parts of worlds, is M4.5 or more (or some that are "significant" that may be smaller than 4.5.

So, a question I have asked here is whether other subduction zones see similar swarm activity, and is there any relation to major or Great quakes.
