What is interesting about this is the fact the magma that is moving inside Esjufj\u00f6ll volcano does appears to be moving at fast rate. For instance the earthquakes that are now taking place in Esjufj\u00f6ll volcano indicate that the magma is moving faster then was the case with Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull volcano before it erupted earlier this year. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/hraun.vedur.is\/ja\/viku\/2010\/vika_42\/index.html#mark\">Week 42<\/a> data from Icelandic Met Office there where over 70 earthquake recorded.
