Bardarbunga earthquake reclassified as magnitude 4.5 By Kolbeinn Tumi Daðason 18. ágúst 2014 22:49 The eruption in Grimsvotn in 2011 which caused major troubles for passenger flights all over Europe. Visir/Egill Seismologists at the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) have reclassified the earthquake close to the Bardarbunga volcano last night. Thorough research has shown that the magnitude was 0,5 higher than estimated, i.e. of magnitude 4,5 but not 4,0. The earthquake hit just before 3 am local time. The IMO website showed a magnitude of 3,8 but seismologists have referred to the earthquake as a 4,0 one in discussions with Icelandic media. The earthquake is the largest to hit the area since 1996 when the magnitude was 5,0. Its believed to have started the eruption in Gjalp. The earthquake last night is estimated to have occurred at a depth of approximately six kilometers below the glacier surface. "It's the largest earthquake measured in the area since the eruption in Gjalp in 1996. There's full reason to expect an eruption,“ says Kristin Jonsdottir, at the IMO.
