[quote:-Haun-:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU3NDA3NjQ2XzYwNURGNzhG] [quote:Ostria1:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU3NDA2MDg2XzcwRDlBMzU0] [quote:Luisport:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU3NDA2MDI1XzEzM0YxQTY0] [b]Strong earthquake swarm deep on the Reykjanes ridge[/b] Posted on June 25, 2016 by Jón Frímann Few days ago an earthquake swarm started deep on the Reykjanes Ridge, this is as far as the Reykjanes ridge extends at the end of it. After that the north Atlantic ridge starts. It is close to impossible to know for sure what is going at this location, however the data suggests that an eruption is taking place there and it appears to be a big one. How big I don’t know and I’m not willing to guess it due to lack of data. The earthquake activity has been interesting, with the largest earthquake having a magnitude 5,5 (EMSC info). Other earthquake magnitudes are 4,9 (EMSC info), magnitude 5,0 (EMSC Info), magnitude 4,9 (EMSC Info). This earthquake activity is currently ongoing, since the distance from land is ~1100 km it is impossible to know for sure what is going on. There is also around 4 km deep ocean at this location. If an eruption is taking place at this location, it is not going to show in the surface of the ocean. I’m sure a lot of smaller earthquakes are taking place, they are just not being recorded by any seismic detecting network due to distance. http://www.jonfr.com/volcano/?p=6294 [/quote] Good morning! :hi: I found a very informative map here of the ocean floor and some GREAT images of the Ridge where is crosses Iceland http://www.amusingplanet.com/2014/09/the-mid-atlantic-ridge-in-iceland.html [/quote] Thank you both for this info, and good morning everyone. :hi: [/quote]

I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
