Iceland shaken by magnitude 6.1 earthquake

While originally I had been under the mistaken impression this particular earthquake had been the result of inherent seismic conditions of the terrain in the region, however after consulting with expert Sharon Stone I realized it actually had been caused by the bad karma emanating from the policies of Iceland's politicians.

joke...

In iceland the worry is actually volcanic eruptions (not so much "bad Karma" in that case but more a case of "Bad Korma").

ha ha.

exit joke.

This one actually moved a block attached to the E. rift zone (Hekla, Grimsvotn, Krafla etc..) E. relative to the W. rift zone via the transform through Selfoss & S.

media pictures issued as a newsbite yesterday show a new open fracture with fountains of boiling mud in the S.most part of the Grimsnes rift near the transform fault close to Selfoss. Thr Grimsnes magma chamber is ~35Km NNE. and ~40Km down so likely no lava this time.
Would be more of a worry if the aftershock chain continued for several weeks in the fault E. of Selfoss because that would widen & deepen the new fracture.

have a nice day: Ag
