Earthquake swarms like this are common in this part of the Reykjanes ridge. It is difficult to know if more earthquake activity is going to take place soon.

I’m visiting several times a day to check on articles and comments, but I have nothing in particular to ask or report about…
It is quiet at the moment. It is impossible to know for how long that is going to last.
Interesting to see the activity at Öræfajökull and then read your article at http://icelandgeology.net/?p=1347 which could easily be a description of the situation there today 🙂
I will read the comments about Oraefajokull, and I keep lurking about Jon’s site. Things will happen in their own time. I think events will continue to unfold. Perhaps, those events have already started.
Is the wider band this morning any significance?

Not really. This is station related, and not volcano related
Hekla is saying hi today.
