Thanks for the help.<\/p>\n<p>The earthquake swarm on Tj\u00f6rnes Fracture Zone continues. The earthquakes are getting stronger, with the largest one today having the magnitude 3.8 (automatic results) and five other earthquakes with the magnitude 3.0 to 3.2. Currently the depth is around the same, it remains at 5 to 15 km and at the moment it doesn&#8217;t seems to be changing. Rate of earthquakes is around the same today (02-October-2013) as it was yesterday (01-October-2013), with no major changes in earthquake rate from what I can see currently taken place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/131002_2200.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/131002_2200.jpeg\" alt=\"131002_2200\" width=\"540\" height=\"416\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/131002_2200.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/131002_2200-300x231.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEarthquake activity in Tj\u00f6rnes Fracture Zone.

There are no signs of this earthquake swarm slowing down as is. It still has not been confirmed if this earthquake activity is connected to magma injection at depth, or if this is just normal tectonic earthquake activity in this area. It&#8217;s going to remain difficult to confirm this idea until an eruption starts in this area and that simply might just not happen at all.
