Earthquake activity is increasing again in this area of Reykjanes peninsula as inflation has resumed but at lower rate then before. That might change as the time goes on. I was unable to record this earthquakes because I am having a major problems with my earthquake computers and Microsoft has disabled activation of Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems so I can’t use them. I am working on a solution but it going to take a little time to implement properly.

Please remember to support my work with donations. At the writing of this article I am completely broke and there are still few days left in March until April starts. Thanks for the support. 🙂
I find it interesting that two systems are having earthquake activity at once. They’re so close I think they must be related (but maybe not).
How is the covid-19 situation in Iceland? We’ve been distancing for three days and I’m already done with it
This volcano situation is interesting. This might have happened in 13th century so this might be a common thing that happens on the Reykjanes peninsula.
The covid-19 situation in Iceland is getting rather bad based on latest news.

Do you think something will come of this Jon? As for COVID-19, I’ve been to the pub twice this week.
Yes, this is going to result in a eruption it is just a question about time and when that might be is a question I do not have an answer to.
As for covid-19. Don’t go to the pub until the whole thing or a vaccination is available (earliest in 18 to 20 months). This is going to be difficult time and a long time because of this pandemic.
