In August 2014 a swarm of around 1,600 earthquakes in 48-hours with magnitudes up to 4.5M on the moment magnitude scale, [5] [6] [7] [8] was followed on 23 August by the aviation colour code being raised from orange to red, indicating an eruption in progress. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardarbunga A magnitude 5.3 earthquake occurred at 5 km depth just after midnight, at 00:09. Its origin was at the northern rim of the caldera. Another earthquake, magnitude about 5, occurred at 05:33 and originated at the southern rim. These are the strongest events measured since the onset of the seismic crisis at Bárðarbunga and the strongest since 1996 (the Gjálp eruption). The magnitude is already confirmed by the European EMSC network and the GEOFON network of GFZ Potsdam in Germany. en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-volcanism/articles/nr/2947 https://youtube/watch?v=hU74tF0GPbQ
