Earthquake with the magnitude of ML3.5 (estimate) did take place at 19:48 UTC. This is normal tectonic activity for this area. But this area of Iceland has the most earthquake activity most of the year.<\/p>\n
\u00deeistareykjabunga volcano<\/strong><\/p>\n It was noticed by a reader of this blog that \u00deeistareykjabunga volcano<\/a> was having few earthquakes. \u00deeistareykjabunga volcano last erupted in the year 900 BC (+- 100 years). This earthquake swarm was small. Mostly earthquakes with the magnitude of ML0.5 to ML1.0. The focal depth of this earthquake swarm was around 5 km. So this in all, is most likely an tectonic earthquake swarm. Rather then volcanic. \u00deeistareykjabunga volcano is an active volcano. But at current time I do not think anything has changed in that volcano at present time.<\/p>\n I do not expect anything more to happen in \u00deeistareykjarbunga volcano. But if there are changes, they won’t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n Thanks to Mafl for the tip on \u00deeistareykjabunga volcano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is going to be short blog post.
