Today (29-January-2020) at 04:31 UTC a earthquake with magnitude of Mw3,5 took place north of Grindav\u00edk town. A second earthquake took place at 04:59 UTC and that earthquake had a magnitude of Mw3,2. There has been a lot of minor earthquake activity during the night both before and after the largest earthquakes took place. Latest news on the inflation is that yesterday (28-January-2020) a pause took place in the inflation. Why that happened is unclear but there are no signs of this activity slowing down.<\/p>\n

There are no signs that magma has started to push it self into a dyke or towards the surface. There has not been any change on the nearby SIL tremor plots that Icelandic Met Office has. Area of activity can be considered large and is now whole of Grindav\u00edk town and but what is important is that the activity is aligned in south-east and north-west as is the direction of faults and older eruption fissures in this area.<\/p>\n
