It was felt in Grindav\u00edk town. Smaller earthquakes have continued in that area since that earthquake, but current rate of earthquakes is at the writing of this article low. That might change without warning. It is unclear what type of earthquake this is, it is possible that this is an earthquake because of ongoing inflation in Fagradalsfjall mountain and resulted stress changes that happen following that in nearby areas. At the writing of this article, everything remains quiet and there are no signs that an eruption is about to start. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earthquake activity has been increasing on Reykjanes peninsula as inflation continues after the end of the eruption in Fagradalsfjall mountain.
