Eruption Would Likely Stop Swarm of Earthquakes

Eruption Would Likely Stop Swarm of Earthquakes Fagradalsfjall mountain. mbl.is/Eggert Jóhannesson Vala Hafstað Morgunblaðið. The second largest quake since the swarm started hit yesterday. It was of magnitude 5.4. According to Halldór Geirsson, associate professor of geophysics at the University of Iceland, an eruption would in all likelihood relieve the pressure that has been causing frequent earthquakes in the area. His colleague Professor Emeritus Páll Einarsson agrees. They share the view that the swarm of earthquakes will likely end with an eruption, sooner or later, which would put an end to the frequent quakes. On the other hand, the quakes could end without an eruption, they note, but that is difficult to predict.
