But today there was a short news about it due a study that was done last summer on earthquake activity in Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull volcano. The study was to see if there where any earthquake activity in Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull volcano. The\u00a0results\u00a0are really interesting, the main\u00a0result\u00a0was there is a lot of earthquake activity in Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull volcano. But also that most of the earthquakes take place on the depth from 9 to 13 km depth. This study was done by Matteo Lupi and Florian Fuchs at Bonn University in Iceland.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons for earthquake activity in Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull volcano is magma. There are not a lot of tectonic movement in Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull volcano area. As it is a volcano zone, but not a rift zone as is the case in most areas of Iceland. But so far it seems that there is no risk of volcano eruption for now. At least that is the opinion for the moment.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image removed at the <strong>request<\/strong> of its author.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>Currently there is no permanent SIL network (IMO wants to install SIL stations, but they lack funding to do so) or other type of Seismometer network on Sn\u00e6fellsnes peninsula. This is bad, because this area has three active volcanoes that erupted around 1000 years ago. Along with populated areas close to this volcanoes. I plan on trying to setup few geophones in that area if I can. But currently I do not have any money or way to install and run geophones on Sn\u00e6fellsnes peninsula. My closest geophone to Sn\u00e6fellsnes peninsula is at Hvammstangi village. Closest the distance is around 84 km or so to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.volcano.si.edu\/world\/volcano.cfm?vnum=1700-03=\" target=\"_blank\">Lj\u00f3sufj\u00f6ll volcano<\/a>. But that means I can record earthquakes down to ML1.0 in the best weather. But since I just have one geophone in this area at the moment. I cannot locate any earthquakes. I just know that they take place.<\/p>\n<p>This is based on blog post from Haraldur Sigur\u00f0sson, geologist.<\/p>\n<p>Blog post and news about this in Icelandic<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vulkan.blog.is\/blog\/vulkan\/entry\/1234877\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jar\u00f0skj\u00e1lftar undir Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kli kalla \u00e1 skj\u00e1lftam\u00e6lanet<\/a> (blog.is, Icleandic)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbl.is\/frettir\/innlent\/2012\/04\/17\/thorf_a_maelum_vid_snaefellsjokul\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00de\u00f6rf \u00e1 skj\u00e1lftam\u00e6lum vi\u00f0 Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kul<\/a> (mbl.is, Icelandic)<\/p>\n<p><em>Blog post updated at 20:10 UTC on 17.04.2012<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Blog post updated at 20:13 UTC on 17.04.2012<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Blog post updated at 15:23 UTC on 20.04.2012<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull volcano is not often in the news in Iceland.
