This earthquake swarm was located on the Reykjanes Ridge. It is impossible to know for sure what was going on at this location due to distance from land. But the average distance of this earthquake swarm is about 450 km south of Eldeyjarbo\u00f0a on the Reykjanes Ridge. The recorded size of this earthquake swarm was from ML3.1 to ML3.3. But that is most likely an underestimate of the earthquake size due to distance from the SIL network.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/120204_0015.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/120204_0015.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"120204_0015\" width=\"540\" height=\"634\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/120204_0015.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/120204_0015-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe star mark the earthquakes. <em>Copyright of this picture belongs to IMO.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Other then this it has been quiet in Iceland.
