Northern Iceland shaken by moderate earthquakes and tremors
Posted on October 21, 2012
October 21, 2012 – ICELAND – A 4.8 and 5.7 earthquake
struck north of Iceland near Siglufjörður, which is home to a thriving
community built along the inner coastline. The quakes struck along the
northern end of the divergent rift or Mid-Atlantic Ridge that runs
through the center of Iceland. The quakes ignited a swarm of hundreds of
tremors. A series of 3.0+ magnitude tremors have also occurred in the
vicinity of the Krafla volcano, which last erupted in 1985. The Krafla
central volcano, located NE of Myvatn Lake, is a topographically
indistinct 10-km-wide caldera that is cut by a N-S-trending fissure
system. Eruption of a rhyolitic welded tuff about 100,000 years ago was
associated with formation of the caldera. Krafla has been the source of
many rifting and eruptive events during the Holocene, including two in
historical time, during 1724-29 and 1975-84. –The Extinction Protocol
