wide and
1000 m long shelf called Þófi, terminating at 80–100 m a.s.l., see Map 4. The inclination of
the shelf is 15 on average. The surface of Þófi is covered with unconsolidated glacial till and
landslide deposits and marked with five gullies. The brook called Þófalækur near the middle of
the shelf divides it into an inner and outer part. On the outermost part of the shelf, there is a small

thus enabling the delineation of active faults in near-real time. Foreshocks preceding a large
earthquake by more than 20 minutes will already have been located with high precision before
the main shock occurs, and may already have delineated the fault plane of the coming main
shock, thus allowing its faulting mechanism to be immediately inferred. Due to its size, the
main shock
