Volcanic eruption looms in Iceland after 18,000 earthquakes struck over the past week

03/16/2021 / By Virgilio Marin

A volcanic eruption looms in Iceland after more than 18,000 earthquakes struck the island country over the past week. From Wednesday to Thursday morning alone, the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) detected around 3,300 earthquakes.

The earthquake swarm centers around Reykjanes Peninsula, a densely populated region south of Iceland’s capital Reykjavik. Authorities now expect one of two volcanoes in the peninsula, Mount Keilir and Mount Fagradalsfjall, to erupt in the next few days, which would be the first in the region in 800 years.

The swarm started on Feb. 24 with a 5.7 magnitude earthquake, the largest to date, and several rumblers followed since. Authorities are currently analyzing sensor and satellite-based monitoring data to determine the cause of the swarm. But most suspect that an intrusion of magma into Earth’s crust has been driving the event.

Or are the earthquakes relieving the pressure that would have led to an eruption?

And if Iceland suffers another flood basalt incident we can all see the utter pointlessness of shutting down human CO2 ....I mean White People's CO2 production...as a means of climate control and we can watch the spectacle of those cultists demanding we still de-industrialize because...that is the only goal of the Gaea Cultists - making a fortune while destroying the West's industrial foundations.
