Abstract
An unusual cluster of four Mw > 6.2 earthquakes ruptured the Hellenic Arc and Trench (HA‐T) from 6 January to 15 July 2008 with a variety of focal depths and mechanisms (Figure 1 and Table 1). Common earthquake clusters incorporate a sequence of dependent events: a main shock, numerous aftershocks, and sometimes foreshocks preceding the main shock. Cluster members occur on the same fault or on a set of nearby faults. The four HA‐T earthquakes, however, do not conform with this pattern because the faults are spatially isolated.
