An earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter Scale took place under Eyjafjallajokull glacier in South Iceland near the active Fimmvorduhals volcano this morning.
The quake was accompanied by a number of smaller earthquakes under the northeast portion of the glacier.
According to volcanologist Einar Kristjansson, despite today’s seismic activity, all measurements still indicate a slowing down of the volcanic eruption, RUV reports.
