An earthquake swarm started under the NW part of the island on 19 March 2022. More than 2000 mostly small quakes of magnitudes from 1.6-3.5 have been registered within the first few days of the activity.
The swarm is likely caused by a magmatic intrusion at 10-15 km depth and could indicate renewed eruptive activity in the future. There is also a risk of larger quakes occurring as the processes continue.
On this page, we will collect information and updates on the events as they come in.
