The second earthquake occurred in the Gulf of Bothnia on 19 March 2016. The magnitude was
assessed at ML4.1. The earthquake was widely felt in northern Sweden and in Finland along the eastern
shore of the Gulf of Bothnia. There are previous examples of earthquakes of this magnitude in the
region in the pre-instrumental era

from the Civil
Protection, ISAVIA-ANS and Police Dept of the South-Iceland.In the beginning of April the uplift in Þorbjörn
decreased and, in the second part of the month, it stopped. The area around
Þorbjörn is now most likely recovering after the large induced stress, and the
injected magma is cooling down and contracting.
Along with reduced deformation, seismic activity has decreasing

and western sides of the crater
lake is a wall of ice. On the northern side a tephra wall rises 20 meters
above the water. The ice walls at the southwestern corner of the crater
are melting, i.e. at the site of the vent that was active 4 – 6 June. The
rate of melting is assumed to be about one cuber meter per second.
Seismic tremor: Low tremor level. Pulses are observed off and on.

to Holuhraun: Strong seismic activity coincided with the
progression of the dyke in the second half of August, but it decreased after the volcanic eruption
began on Holuhraun. Earthquakes are still detected in the dyke but they are small and relatively few.

covered base of the caldera began

are sourced from
two subglacial lakes, formed due to persistent geothermal activity beneath
Vatnajökull. This activity is apparent on the ice-surface as a circular depression,
known as an ice cauldron. On average, the two neighbouring cauldrons drain
every one to two years, producing floods ranging in maximum discharge from
hundreds to occasionally thousands of cubic metres per second. When
