In the paper “ Multiple melt injection along a spreading segment at Askja, Iceland ” by Janet Key et al. (Geophysical Research Letters, 38, L05301, doi:10.1029/2010GL046264, 2011), we regret that an error was made in the calculation of the V p /V s ratios. The correct values are presented in this revised version of Figure 2 and its caption. This change does not affect either the hypocentral locations, for which we used the correct mean V p /V s value of 1.78, nor the overall conclusions of our paper. We still find evidence for relatively elevated V p /V s ratios from the lower crustal earthquakes, consistent with the presence of melt in the lower crust. However the following corrections to the text should be made in light of this discovery.
