Based on how it appeared on my geophone it possibly close to being a magnitude 5,0 earthquake. Revision takes time when a large earthquake swarm like this happens. The largest earthquake was felt over a wide area in north, north-east and north-west Iceland according to reports by Icelandic Met Office.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"416\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145-300x231.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCurrent earthquake swarm in Nafir volcano east of Gr\u00edmsey island in the TFZ. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145_trace.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145_trace.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"175\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145_trace.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/180219_1145_trace-300x97.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEarthquake activity is high at the moment. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There is currently no end in sight for this earthquake swarm.
