Minor earthquake swarm in Krafla volcano

On 7-December-2015 a minor earthquake swarm took place in Krafla volcano. The strongest earthquake in this swarm had the magnitude of 3,2. I don’t know if it was felt in nearby town. It was followed by few minor earthquakes, both before and after.

I don’t expect any more earthquake activity in Krafla volcano. At least not outside normal background activity.

    1. Volcanically, the region is relatively quiet so this is interesting, yes?

      Is it tectonic Jon and is it interesting?

      Please advise.
