The largest earthquake yet By Kolbeinn Tumi Daðason 24. ágúst 2014 00:48 Dyngjujökull glacier. Mynd/Omar Ragnarsson A magnitude 5.3 earthquake has occurred in the Bárðarbunga caldera at 5 km depth at 00:09. It is the strongest event measured since the onset of the seismic crisis at Bárðarbunga. The magnitude of the event is already confirmed by the European EMSC network and the GEOFON network of GFZ Potsdam in Germany. No increased tremor has followed the earthquake. IMO continues to monitor the situation very closely.
