Early morning today (2. March 2011) there was a spike of earthquakes in Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edk volcano<\/a>. This earthquake swarm took place west of Kleifarvatn lake<\/a> as the main center of the activity has been for the past two years. This type of activity can be expected in Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edk volcano in the coming weeks in my opinion. Both long earthquake swarms and short ones, like the one that did happen early morning today.<\/p>\n

The Icelandic Met Office has released a picture showing the earthquake activity in Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edk volcano from the year 2004. Along with accumulated strain from those earthquakes and other useful data.<\/p>\n

A overview picture of the activity in Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edk volcano shows well the fissure direction the earthquakes line them self up on. The direction is almost north-south one. This map does not contain all the earthquake that where recorded in Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edk volcano in last week.<\/p>\n

I am expecting more earthquake activity in Kr\u00fdsv\u00edk volcano area. But at the moment it is a bit hard to know for sure if this is going to result in a volcano eruption. But in my opinion that is going to be the result in the end. But currently it is all a question about when, rather then if in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> There was a earthquake with the size ML3.6 at 17:56 UTC according to the automatic data from Icelandic Met Office. This earthquake was a more south the earthquakes that happened last weekend. This can clearly been seen on the map data that Icelandic Met Office has released (see above). The depth of this earthquake was 3.6 km. <\/p>\n
