Jarðskjálftar á Íslandi árið 1953
The seismic activity was relatively low in Iceland during this year. No large shock occurred, and no damage was done by earthquakes. The largest shock came on February 10th, with epicenter off the north coast (about 66°40'N, 17°0'W), origin time l ^ e ^ S l 8 GMT, and instrumental magnitud...
