Currently it is quiet in Iceland when it comes to earthquakes. It is also quiet in Icelandic volcanoes. As no volcano shows clear signs that is about to start erupting. But in this quiet period it is easy to miss the earthquake signs that appear in Icelandic volcanoes.<\/p>\n
A volcano named Kverkfj\u00f6ll<\/a> has been showing increased signs of unrest over the past few years. So far the largest earthquake swarm took place few years ago. When a cluster of ML2.5 to ML3.5 earthquake took place in it. But since then it has been rather quite. But it is my opinion that Kverkfj\u00f6ll volcano are on the path to a eruption. But so far it is unclear how and when it might take place. As Kverkfj\u00f6ll volcano is continues to be a rather quiet volcano, even it is showing slightly higher activity then compared over the last few years. A better SIL network in this are accounts for some of the few earthquakes. But not all of them far as I can tell. In the last 48 hours there have been two earthquakes at rather uncommon place in Kverkfj\u00f6ll volcano. Both events where small, less then mag 2.0 in size. But those events are part of a pattern that did start in Week 12<\/a> of 2011. But even it doesn’t look like a lot. There has been continues activity in Kverkfj\u00f6ll volcano over the past few weeks and this activity appears to be continuing. I am going to write a better post about it later, when I have better picture of what is going on in Kverkfj\u00f6ll volcano.<\/p>\n Last earthquake swarm that was in the larger size took place in October 2010. My review of it can be found here, Kverkfj\u00f6ll volcano shows sign of activity<\/a> (2010).<\/p>\n Other then this it remains quiet in Iceland. That is why I don’t have a lot too write about at the moment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Currently it is quiet in Iceland when it comes to earthquakes.
