A massive aftershock measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale has this morning jolted the lower South Island with a quake striking at 10.28am and lasting for about 30 seconds.

GNS Science duty seismologist Bryan Field said the latest shake was a 6.2 magnitude centred 50 kilometres west of Milford Sound at a depth of 5km.

"This is normal activity after a big earthquake," he said.

"It has been a busy period but statistics say for every quiet patch you must have a busy patch down the track. It's all normal stuff."

Earlier this morning a quake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale shook the South Island and while felt strongly there were no immediate reports of serious damage or injury.
