But almost all of the earthquakes that have been taking place during this swarm have been small earthquakes, often with less then 2.0 in magnitude. Earthquake activity is ongoing in SISZ at the moment. It is impossible to know if there are going to be any more earthquakes with magnitude 3.0 in this area. The magnitude 3.1 earthquake was felt in Selfoss and Hverager\u00f0i towns.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/120708_1425.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/120708_1425.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"120708_1425\" width=\"540\" height=\"751\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/120708_1425.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/120708_1425-215x300.jpeg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe area on SISZ where this earthquake swarm is taking place. <em>Copyright of this picture belongs to Iceland Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/sisz.ahrifkort.08.07.2012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/sisz.ahrifkort.08.07.2012.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"sisz.ahrifkort.08.07.2012\" width=\"864\" height=\"682\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/sisz.ahrifkort.08.07.2012.jpg 864w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/sisz.ahrifkort.08.07.2012-300x236.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMap that shows how the earthquake was felt in this area of Iceland. <em>Copyright of this picture belongs to Iceland Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ebiz.08.07.2012.15.14.utc_.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ebiz.08.07.2012.15.14.utc_.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"ebiz.08.07.2012.15.14.utc\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ebiz.08.07.2012.15.14.utc_.gif 900w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/ebiz.08.07.2012.15.14.utc_-300x200.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe earthquake did appear clearly on all of my geophones.
