While is was walking on the edge of the glacier on 8th September, there was a  4.5 richter earthquake . At first I thought it was the glacier moving, but it was too strong for that. Here is a link to a news article about the earthquake: http://www.chamonet.com/whats_new_article.php?id_whats_new=586
