Eleven earthquakes have been recorded within 10 km of Grindavík in the last 48 hours, but overall activity in the country has increased as 238 of the 386 earthquakes during the period were measured in the last 24 hours. This frequency is significantly above average compared to the last two years, with increased swarm activity at Eldey and Katla but a swarm pattern at Prestahnúkur. For comparison: a similar situation on the Reykjanes Peninsula was recorded on September 18, 2025, and did not lead to an eruption — neutral analogy, not a forecast.
