During the night (19-July-2020) three earthquakes took place in Tj\u00f6rnes Fracture Zone on the Flatey – H\u00fasv\u00edk fault. Around midnight earthquake activity started to increase on the Flatey – H\u00fasav\u00edk fault. The first earthquake with magnitude Mw3,0 took place at 02:54 UTC and the largest earthquake with magnitude Mw4,4 took place at 03:07 UTC and the second largest earthquake with magnitude Mw3,3 took place at 07:05 UTC. More earthquakes with magnitude above Mw3,0 can’t be ruled out and there remains a risk of earthquake with magnitude of Mw7,0 is going to happen in this area.<\/p>\n
