Earthquake activity has most stopped north-east of Gridav\u00edk town when the inflation in that area mostly stopped and a little time of deflation started and stopped at 55mm based on recent GPS measurements. Earthquake activity is ongoing. There seems to be a pattern of larger earthquakes happening in the western part of the activity in similar pattern as was the case in the eastern part of the active area (Grindav\u00edk town). Largest earthquakes on Wednesday had a magnitude of Mw3,4. There is a risk of stronger earthquakes in this area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/200307_0045.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/200307_0045.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/200307_0045.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/200307_0045-300x222.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe earthquake activity on Reykjanes volcano as of the writing of this article. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This information might go outdated quickly if something happens in this area.
