Today (30.08.2012) at 11:59 UTC there was an earthquake with the magnitude of ML3.8 (4.2Mw) in Brennisteinsfj\u00f6ll volcano<\/a> \/ SISZ. But SISZ overlaps this area to some extend. So large earthquakes do happen in this area of Iceland on regular basis. This earthquake was felt in Reykjav\u00edk area, south Iceland and some part of western Iceland.<\/p>\n

In around 30 aftershocks have been detected in the area. More aftershock activity in this area cannot be ruled out. This earthquake did appear clearly on my geophones<\/a> all over Iceland.<\/p>\n

It is impossible to know for sure what this earthquake activity means. But earthquake activity in this area of Brennisteinsfj\u00f6ll volcano did stop around 15:49 UTC. No aftershocks did go above 2.0 in magnitude. More earthquakes in this area should not be ruled out in the next few days to weeks.<\/p>\n
