Intraplate earthquakes in Iceland

I see this morning that there are intraplate earthquakes north of Hveravellir. Intraplate earthquakes sometimes happen in Iceland, they also happen in earthquake swarms that can grow quite big. Both in size and numbers.

Intraplate earthquakes in Iceland happens on old fault lines or in old volcano areas.
