the 1960s and early 1970s showed that this line of thought was at the best wrong, but possibly
also dangerous. Since then the need for natural hazard management in the broad sense has
become more and more obvious in Iceland. The assessment of Icelandic natural hazards fit
very well into the frame proposed by the WMO at the end of the International Decade for

The graph (enlarge) was published 26 Sept. Now it shows the subsidence from 28 Sept until 4 Oct 2015. The total lowering of the ice-surface is shown by the value above the photograph (Heildarsig).
The red line shows the median value of relative displacement for every 30 minutes. This presentation was possible throughout the event because

longitude and 300 m in depth (thick line). Stress drop with respect to depth is shown
as grey crosses and average stress drop for 1 km intervals is shown as red triangles.

After relocating the earthquakes, many of them form separate clusters, but the overall
