Donation note:<\/strong> I still need donations for October. I currently have no money for anything and that is rather bad. This bad situation that I am having is going to last for several months according to an excel document that I have set-up to figure out my total debt repayment. I can repay my debt (or buy replacement hardware if anything fails), but not buy food at the same time. The exchange rate of ISK to DKK is also bad at the moment. I hope for improvement but that won’t happen for next several months at least.<\/p>\n

Activity in Tj\u00f6rnes Fracture Zone continues as it has been doing for the past week. There is not a lot of other activity taking place in Iceland at the moment. The largest earthquake today (03-October-2013) had the magnitude of 3.5, a second earthquake with the magnitude of 3.1 also took place in TFZ today. Depth of this earthquake swarm remains the same, around 5 to 15 km at current time.<\/p>\n

Today (03-October-2013) there were fewer earthquakes in this swarm than yesterday. The drop is currently around half of less activity than yesterday. I am not sure why this is as currently the earthquake swarm is ongoing. Even if there are fewer earthquakes taking place. This might just be a short time drop in earthquake activity, or this might signal an end of this earthquake swarm. Currently it’s too early to know for sure. The only thing that can be done is to wait and see what happens next in this earthquake swarm.<\/p>\n

So far there are no signs of any magma having reached the surface, if that is the reason for this earthquake swarm in this area of Tj\u00f6rnes Fracture Zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
