Earthquake activity in Öræfajökull volcano

Yesterday (05-May-2018) and today (06-May-2018) a earthquake swarm took place in Öræfajökull volcano. In yesterday earthquake swarm the largest earthquake had a magnitude of 1,5 and most other earthquakes had magnitude lower than 1,0. In today earthquake swarm largest magnitude was 1,0. Today earthquake swarm was considerably smaller than yesterday activity.

Earthquake activity in Öræfajökull remains at low levels but well above background levels for Öræfajökull volcano. At the moment there are no clear signs of when or if a volcano eruption is going to happen. Some time ago Icelandic Met Office moved Öræfajökull volcano from Yellow to Green status.

Donations

Please remember to support my work with donations. I am going to be extremely broke this May due to bills I have to pay in Denmark. Thanks for the support. 🙂

Please note that at the end of May I am moving back to Iceland because I got annoyed and sick of being always broke while living in Denmark. I’ll post more details when I get closer to moving back to Iceland.

  1. Please remember to support my work this month. Currently I am around 400 DKK / 54€ away from having afford to pay the electricity bill and that is the last bill I have to pay this month. The reason for this lack of money is that I had to buy food to eat.

    This is annoying situation for me but it can’t be helped at the moment. I am changing this situation by moving back to Iceland. Thanks for the support. 🙂

    I have also made a minor plan change to my plan on moving to Spain. I might be moving to Germany instead when I find apartment in Frankfurt Am Main. The reason being that buying a house in Spain costs a lot of money and saving that amount of money takes such a long time that it might be more economical for me to rent in Frankfurt Am Main then to buy a house in Spain. I can move to Frankfurt Am Main soon as I have a place to rent (via rental company) and that would only cost me 8000€ in saving (at maximum, lower amount like 6000€ is also possible). Instead of having to save more than 22.000€ for a house down payment in Spain.

    I am a big city person so that is not going to be a issue for me. In fact I prefer the big cities to small towns. That is just who I am apparently.
