on Tuesday was measured M4.0 on Wednesday, 11th of February, at 12:16. Few other earthquakes
between magnitudes M3.0-3.9 were detected over the period. In total around 60 earthquakes were detected
around the caldera since last Tuesday. No earthquake over M5.0 has been detected in Bárðarbunga since 8. January.
Around 30 earthquakes were detected in the dyke during the same period. The strongest one

magnitude of 6.6 if the same energy was released in one big earthquake.
This number might sound small, however it has to be kept in mind that the magnitude scale of earthquakes
is logarithmic. An increase of one magnitude corresponds to an energy increase by a factor of around 30,
i.e. a magnitude 5 earthquake releases around 30 times more energy than a magnitude 4. It is however
worth to notice

Meltwater: Web-camera views show continued discharge of water from Gígjökull due
to lava-ice interactions. On 28 April, the discharge of Markarfljót was
measured twice at the old bridge, ~18 km downstream from Gígjökull.
