Just a quick update, last few days saw some of the biggest quakes in the area, one as high as 4.7 and about 5km deep, then this morning we had quiet for about 2hrs, and since about 11am (2hrs) a large swarm of 3.0+ richter hit.

Iceland MET office says "intense seismic swarm continues, no signs of magma reaching the surface yet" http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-v...m/earthquakes/

But they sent out the coast guard helicopter and the Bombardier Dash 8 is going up to see if this is it.
