Yesterday (10-September-2017) at 21:40 UTC a magnitude (Mw) 5,9 earthquake (EMSC information here) took place deep south on the Reykjanes ridge. No aftershocks have appeared on USGS or EMSC that I am aware of. They must have happened but due to distance from land this earthquake activity was not detected.

The distance this earthquake took place from Reykjavík is 1004 km. Only thing it did was to scare some fish at most. It is impossible to know if anything more happens at this location. It might or it might not.
