Two earthquakes with magnitude MW3,0 also took place. The strongest earthquakes where felt in Reykjav\u00edk and other nearby towns. This earthquake activity is part of the activity that started in January in Reykjanes volcano and has been ongoing since then. Its has moved a little east in recent months and I am unclear on why that is exactly.
