During the summer of 2004 we recorded the seismicity at the Krafla geothermal field for forty days with an array of twenty PASSCAL L-28 4.5-Hz sensors. The Krafla field is located approximately 60 km East of Akureyri in northern Iceland. The array covered an area approximately 5 km N-S by 4 km E-W....
