Several months ago the earthquakes in Tr\u00f6lladyngja where happening at 28 km depth, but now they are at the depth range of 18,6 &#8211; 23,3 km, this means that the magma under Tr\u00f6lladyngja is migrating upwards at fast phase, a lot faster then I thought was possible. Earthquake swarm in November-2015 where slight off to the side, those earthquakes had the depth of 15 &#8211; 18 km as I wrote about <a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/?p=5875\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. Since November-2015 here has been other activity in Tr\u00f6lladyngja, but that has been in the form of one or two earthquakes so I have not written about it (I never bother with just one or two earthquakes at location due to the amount that happens daily in Iceland).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/170608_1550.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/170608_1550.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"596\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/170608_1550.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/170608_1550-272x300.png 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEarthquake activity in Tr\u00f6lladyngja (volcano), north-east of B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano fissure swarm. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last eruption in Tr\u00f6lladyngja was according to GVP (under <a href=\"https:\/\/volcano.si.edu\/volcano.cfm?vn=373030\" target=\"_blank\">B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga<\/a> volcano history) was 7000 years ago.
