An earthquake measuring 3.5 on the Richter scale occurred just before three AM last night around 2.5 km South East of the Bárðarbunga caldera.
Bárðarbunga last erupted in a new fissure eruption between Bárðarbunga and Askja in the Holuhraun lava field between 2014- 2015.
Acccording to the Iceland Met Office no aftershocks have been detected and there is no volcanic unrest meaning that the earthquake was probably a singular event.
