Shallow geothermal and deep seismicity beneath Peistareykir, NE-Iceland

The seismicity in the central Þeistareykir volcanic system, NE Iceland, between 2009-2012 consists of spatially clustered earthquakes at 2-5 km depth (b.s.l.) southwest of the main geothermal fields. Deep earthquakes are located in a scattered pattern southeast of Þeistareykir at 8-20 km depth (b.s....
