This article contains information about two volcanoes. There is currently also a lot of earthquake activity in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. But that is going to be a different article if needed.<\/p>\n

\u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull volcano<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the moment there is a continuous minor earthquake activity happening in \u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull<\/a> volcano. Largest earthquake in current swarm had the magnitude of 2,0 and second largest earthquake had a magnitude of 1,5.<\/p>\n

What worries me about \u00d6r\u00e6faj\u00f6kull volcano is that it already seems to be at stage two in its path to an eruption. Article explaining that can be read here, Seismic patterns help forecast eruptions from quiet stratovolcanoes<\/a>

\nTungnafellsj\u00f6kull volcano<\/strong><\/p>\n

There has been minor earthquake activity in Tungnafellsj\u00f6kull<\/a> volcano in recent days but mostly in last few hours. It remains unclear at the moment why this earthquake activity is happening. It is a possibility that this just tectonic stress due to B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano activity in 2014 – 2015 eruption.<\/p>\n

As it currently stands I don’t think anything is going to happen in Tungnafellsj\u00f6kull volcano for now.

Please remember to support my work. As it currently stands I am going to be super broke in May. But that is also going to be the last month that is going to be the case (I hope). Thanks for the support. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
