The most recent and costliest damaging earthquake in Iceland is the ????w6.3 29-May-2008 Ölfus earthquake to date. In particular, Hveragerði town located in the extreme near-fault region, suffered intense horizontal peak ground accelerations (PGA) of ∼40–90%g and large amplitude and long-period near...
