The inflation now seems to be small but that might change without warning. There might not be a lot of earthquake activity connected to this time of inflation because the area already is inflated and there was a lot of earthquake activity earlier in the year when this started. Earthquake activity might be more common on the edges and at those location the risk of magnitude Mw6,0 earthquake is highest, but is impossible to be certain about this due to how many faults there are on the Reykjanes peninsula, both from volcanoes and rift faults due to the rift valley that is there (its just full of lava).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/200529_1920.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/200529_1920.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/200529_1920.png 540w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/200529_1920-300x222.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThere was a earthquake swarm yesterday (28-May-2020) north of Grindav\u00edk town. <em>Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Met Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>How this is going to change and evolve over the next few weeks is not something that can be predicted with any certainty for now.
