This was a single earthquake and no more earthquake activity happened following this activity.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday (27-October-2019) a earthquake swarm started in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. This is a deep earthquake swarm with a depth from 20,2 km and up to 10,9 km on Sunday. All of the earthquakes in this swarm had a magnitude lower than Mw2,0.<\/p>\n<p>Today (Monday 28-October-2019) the deep earthquake swarm continued in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. This earthquake swarm was larger in number of earthquakes happening. Depth was from 26 km to 15,5 km. This deep earthquake activity is connected to magma injection from deep magma reservoir that is below B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga or a different one nearby. There is no way to know for sure what magma reservoir is feeding this earthquake activity. Often this deep earthquake activity is followed by a more intense earthquake activity in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano it self. What the connection between those two events is remains a mystery. It is impossible to know if this increased earthquake activity means anything for now. Last times this has happened it has not resulted in anything other than earthquake activity over time period of several weeks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/191028_1405.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/191028_1405.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"596\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/191028_1405.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/191028_1405-272x300.png 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe earthquake activity in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This earthquake activity is now a common feature of B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano.
