Due to family obligations I won’t be able to write a long post until Sunday (I hope). So here is a short overview of activity.
Hreppar micro-plate
A rare swarm of earthquakes took place on the Hreppar micro-plate today. All of the earthquakes had less magnitude than 1,0.

Bárðarbunga volcano
Last week a magnitude 3,2 earthquake took place in Bárðarbunga volcano. This don’t appear to be deflation earthquakes, they rather look like inflation earthquakes. I don’t have time to write about it now, so details have to wait for now.

I hope to write more on Sunday if I have time.
