At 09:41 UTC on 19-December-2016 a small earthquake swarm started on the Dalvík fault-line, that fault-line is part of TFZ (Tjörnes Fracture Zone area). The largest earthquake was felt over a wide area, including Akureyri and other nearby towns. Largest earthquake in this swarm had the magnitude of 3,5 and the second largest earthquake had the magnitude of 1,6. The largest earthquake depth was 12,3 km.

When this text is written it seem that the earthquake activity has dropped down, just one earthquake has happened since the activity stopped at 09:49 UTC. Current level of activity is low and that might remain like that.
