In the past days the largest earthquakes have had the magnitude of ML3.2. A second earthquake swarm is also taking place west of the village of K\u00f3pasker. That area also had an earthquake with the magnitude of ML3.2. That earthquake swarm is unrelated to the earthquake swarm taking place off north of Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur village. Earlier today an earthquake with the magnitude 3.8 took place. More earthquakes are expected to take place. This latest earthquake was clearly felt in Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur village. This earthquake swarm started on 20th of October. So it has been ongoing now for almost two weeks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"121103_1635\" width=\"540\" height=\"416\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635-300x231.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe latest earthquake in TFZ. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635_trace.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635_trace.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"121103_1635_trace\" width=\"540\" height=\"175\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635_trace.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/121103_1635_trace-300x97.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEarthquake tracker from Icelandic Meteorological Office showing the earthquakes during the past 48 hours in TFZ. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Earthquake activity is expected to continue in this part of TFZ.

It has been generally quiet in Iceland. For the past four days there has been really bad winter storm taking place in Iceland. With wind up to 40m\/s and wind gust up to 70m\/s or more. This means that fewer earthquakes are being detected by the SIL network in Iceland due to increased wind noise. But earthquake activity has been low in Iceland for the past few weeks (besides TFZ). So I am not sure if that changes anything.
