3.5 magnitude earthquake in Bárðarbunga

The earthquakes have been quite small and their source is at a great depth. The largest measured 1.2 in size.

Sveinsson explains that the earthquakes are located a little to the east of Bárðarbunga, but not completely in the Bárðarbunga crater.

See no volcanic turbulence

"We don't know exactly what this is telling us right now, but it always happens regularly in this area," he says.

"We don't see any volcanic turbulence or anything like that, it's nothing like that."

Today, ten years have passed since the volcanic eruption began in Holuhraun lava on August 29, 2014. The eruption began with a 1,500-meter fissure and a lava flow that reached up to 300 cubic meters per second. Before the eruption, there was a big earthquake in Bárðarbunga.
