It appears that a earthquake swarm has started on the Reykjanes Ridge. This earthquake swarm appears to have started with a earthquake that is ML3.6 to ML4.0 in size or larger. But I don’t think it is a Mb5.0 in size. On the earthquake list on the Icelandic Met Office web site there are several ghost earthquakes. But I did just record one earthquake on my geophones.

This looks like a normal earthquake swarm on the Reykjanes Ridge. So far nothing suggests that this means a eruption is about to start in this area. But that might change without warning since this is a volcano area.
I am going to update this blog post if there are any more strong earthquakes on the Reykjanes Ridge.
