I expect this earthquake swarm to continue for the next few days at least. There is a risk of larger earthquake in this area, since it does happen that one earthquake swarm starts a new one on a nearby faults.

That is a great disappointment to me. There is however nothing that I can do while I am just on social welfare in Iceland. I don&#8217;t know for how long I am going to be living in Iceland, this might take few more years until I manage to move back to Denmark. The reason for this is the tax system and how it treats people on social welfare that move between the Nordic countries. This is due to complex treaties between Iceland and Denmark this did happen. There is nothing I can do about it while I am on social welfare. This means that my next mission is to stop being on social welfare and <em>then<\/em> move back to Denmark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B\u00f6\u00f0varsh\u00f3lar geophone station:<\/strong> Since I am not moving to Denmark in nearby future. I am going to restart the geophone station in B\u00f6\u00f0varsh\u00f3lar. It should go on-line sometimes next weekend I hope. This means that I am going to be able to see earthquakes on TFZ mostly clearly and other nearby activity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earthquake swarm started on TFZ on 27-July-2015.
