This earthquake swarm is slightly unusual because its only been two weeks since a magnitude 4,2 earthquake took place in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. This are inflation related earthquakes, since B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano has been inflating since end of the eruption in Holuhraun in February 2015. This process is going to continue until next eruption happens in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano system. This process can be at shortest be 1 year and at the longest this can take 104 years. I base this on B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano known eruption history.
