During the night there was an small earthquake swarm in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano<\/a>. The largest earthquake in this earthquake swarm was ML3.04 in magnitude. It had the depth of 8.5 km. This might have been a n dike intrusion. But it is hard to know that for sure at the moment. This earthquake swarm only lasted for an about 2 to 3 hours before it stopped.<\/p>\n

\nThe earthquake swarm also did appear clearly on the tremor plots on the SIL stations that are close to B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. The second set of spikes there are from Hamarinn volcano. Copyright of this picture belongs to Iceland Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nThis earthquake swarm was also seen on Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano SIL station. The rise in harmonic tremor is due to a storm that is passing over Iceland at the moment (going to go over Iceland today). Copyright of this picture belongs to Iceland Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hamarinn volcano<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the earthquake swarm in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano an earthquake swarm did start in Hamarinn volcano. This earthquake swarm is so far small and the largest earthquake so far is an ML1.9 in magnitude. But Hamarinn volcano had an minor eruption in July 2011. That minor eruption created an glacier flood that was larger then the flood that did come from M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier the week earlier. Activity after that has however been little and few earthquakes have taken place. It is impossible to know if there is going to be any more eruptions in Hamarinn volcano. But it cannot be ruled out given current activity in it.<\/p>\n

Year in review on R\u00fav News<\/strong><\/p>\n

R\u00fav News has put up an page with major events in Iceland during the year 2011.<\/p>\n

Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano eruption in May 2011 can be viewed here<\/a>.
\nThe glacier flood from M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier due to the small eruption in Katla volcano can be found here<\/a>. Sadly there is no mention of glacier flood from Hamarinn volcano yet.<\/p>\n

This video should be available outside Iceland. If it is not. Please let me know I can send an complain email to R\u00fav News about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
