North Korea's Nuclear Tests Linked to Earthquake Surge at Mount Mantap
Seismic activity has increased markedly at the mountain since the last nuclear test in 2017.
Mount Mantap, also known as Mantapsan, has become a seismic hot spot following North Korea's nuclear testing program at the site. According to Scientific American, seismic activity has increased significantly at the mountain since the last test blast there in 2017.
The uptick in earthquake activity appears linked to the structural damage caused by repeated underground nuclear detonations conducted at the location.
