Depth of this earthquake swarm was also slightly different, being from 9,4 &#8211; 8,3 km. It is difficult to know for sure what is going on at this depth, magma might be creating path for it in the crust on its way to the surface or this simply might just be the fault inside the caldera moving upward at slow phase. Earthquake activity happens when fresh magma is injected into B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. This is going to continue to happen for a long time, maybe until next eruption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to support my work.
