The last earthquake, 4.7, which occurred 29 km southwest of Reykjavik, Iceland, was one of the earthquakes whose strength exceeded 4.0 magnitude. According to the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), the Continuous Earthquake Swarm in Iceland produced the largest earthquake they felt of 5.7 magnitude, on February 24, 2021. Since that earthquake they have recorded more than 20 earthquakes above 4.0 magnitude, and 100+ earthquakes above magnitude 3.0. A total of more than 7,200 earthquakes have been recorded since the start of the swarm on February 19, 2021. The above satellite image from the Sentinel-1 interferometer from February 19-25, 2021 shows the movements of tectonic plates between North America and the Eurasian plates. The red capacitances represent the movement towards the satellite and the purple amplitude movement away from the satellite. Arrow lines show this direction of motion. The red star shows the location of the magnitude 5.7 earthquake on February 24, and the International Maritime Organization stated that these seismic activities are part of the ongoing volcanic tectonic reactivation of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Although none of them have yet been observed, they are constantly looking for any shallow rocky intrusions or magma flow from deep.
