Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This earthquake activity is part of a higher than normal earthquake activity in this area. It has been ongoing since 2019, with the most quiet period during the six month long eruption in Fagradalsfjall mountain. I don&#8217;t know when the crust is going to break on that magma that is in this area. It might not happen with a large earthquake swarm or activity. A earthquake small as Mw2,5 might start an eruption in this area.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nDonations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to support my work with donations. It helps me greatly. Thanks for the support. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moving to Denmark<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am moving to Denmark in May. That means that for some time there is going to be a time where I am not going to be able to post a lot of updates even if something happens. This also means that my earthquake monitoring at Hvammstangi is going to shut down. Because of how the internet is today. I am unable to transmit data from a remote computer to a main computer over the internet. I don&#8217;t know why this is, but I suspect that there is some type of new attack going on, resulting in WinSDR server program crashing on the data transmission at random times. I am going to start recording earthquakes in Denmark after I finish moving. This are however only going to be larger earthquakes down in the Mediterranean  area, Greece and that area where larger earthquakes often happen. I also consider this a fine change for me, since I&#8217;ve been recording earthquakes in Iceland since 2008 and I&#8217;ve got a lot of backlog to work through because of high earthquake activity because of volcano activity in recent years.
