Yesterday (8-July-2020) at 17:41 UTC an magnitude Mw4,2 earthquake took place in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone. This earthquake was closer to land than other earthquakes and was felt over a wide area. The fault line that created this earthquake has almost north to south direction. The earthquake swarm that started on 19-June-2020 is ongoing but the amount of earthquakes that have been happening has dropped over the last few days to just around 300 earthquakes over 48 hour time period.
