Iceland experienced more than 18,000 earthquakes in a week at the end of last month, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
This lead to speculations that Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula may soon experience a volcanic eruption.
The largest was a 5.7-magnitude tremor on 24 February around 10 a.m. local time. Another magnitude 5 quake hit just 30 minutes later, the agency said.
