This earthquake was well detected on my geophone in north Iceland. This image is released under CC Licence. Please see CC Licence page for more details.
It is possible to watch this earthquake activity on my geophone network page here. At the moment the earthquake activity has stopped. It is impossible to know if it is going to start again in this area or not. But this area is normally highly active in terms of earthquake activity during the year. So earthquakes swarms like this are not uncommon.
There are earthquake recently worryingly near to Hekla! Were they tectonic?
