Five earthquakes have been recorded within 10 km of Grindavík in the last 48 hours out of a total of 64 earthquakes nationwide, but none have reached magnitude M3.0. Overall activity is above average compared to the past two years, although no earthquakes have been recorded in the last 24 hours and swarm activity is decreasing. Minor deformation due to magma accumulation without eruption is measured at Svartsengi, while scattered activity is observed at Bárðarbunga and Grímsvötn; for comparison, a similar situation was recorded on the Reykjanes Peninsula on September 15, 2025, which did not lead to an eruption — a neutral analogy, not a forecast.
