Last night, July 29, a magnitude 3.2 earthquake was recorded under Katla.

According to RUV, the earthquake was recorded at 19:20, and another followed at 19:22. About 20 aftershocks have been recorded since then.

In a statement to RUV, an officer from the Meteorological Service stated that although the seismic activity is significant, there is no sign of an imminent eruption.

In addition to the hit Netflix drama directed by Baltasar Kormákur, Katla is also a volcano in southern Iceland. Historically, it erupted in cycles ranging from 20 to 90 years. There hasn’t been a big eruption since 1918, making it 103 years since the last major eruption.

Earthquakes across Iceland can be monitored here, on the Iceland Meteorological Office website.
