At the moment larger earthquakes have not yet happened in last few weeks (since the magnitude 3,5 earthquake took place). The earthquakes at the outline and some distance from \u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull volcano seems to be fault lines that move as \u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull volcano continues to inflate. There is some risk of earthquakes at those locations, it is my view that risk is mostly minimal for now at least. I don&#8217;t know how the development has been for the cauldron in \u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull volcano caldera since I haven&#8217;t seen any news about the development of that area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to support my work with donations.
