The tremor signal emanating from Hekla travels outwards in a radial pattern, starting at stations
closest to Hekla and then traveling outwards towards the borders of Iceland. Figure 8 shows the
tremor amplitude plots for stations with a NE bearing from Hekla (Figure 8a) and a WSW
bearing from Hekla (Figure 8b). Figure 9 shows
