A seismic swarm marks the Skjaldbreidur shield volcano since 9 December. This volcano, located north-east of Lake Thingvellir, is part of the Oddnýjarhnúkur - Langjökull system, in the West Rift zone.

More than 100 earthquakes have been counted, including at least 4 of magnitude between 3 and 4.

It is by no means an awakening of the Skjaldbreidur, the nature of the seismic activity would be purely tectonic, without signs of magmatic movements for the moment. One can however notice its position directly under the main crater, where may remain a residual magmatic reservoir.
