The biggest earthquakes in South Langj\u00f6kull volcano have been around ML2.5 in size. With the average depth of 10 to 5 km. Total number of earthquakes is something around 39 and that is an small earthquake swarm.<\/p>\n<p>The area in question is known for earthquake activity. Few years ago there was an earthquake swarm in this area with several ML4.0+ earthquakes. This area did also see earthquake swarm earlier this year. So far nothing suggests that an eruption is close in this area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/110607_2310.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/110607_2310-291x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"110607_2310\" width=\"291\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/110607_2310-291x300.jpg 291w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/110607_2310.jpeg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMap from Icelandic Met Office showing the area with the earthquake swarm.

A ML3.1 earthquake took place few days ago in TFZ in an area that commonly has earthquake swarms. That area does not have any volcanoes, so earthquakes there are only connected to faults in the fault lines in that area.<\/p>\n<p><em>Blog post updated at 23:29 UTC on 7.
