The magmatic plumbing system beneath Askja, a volcano in the central Icelandic highlands, is imaged using local earthquake tomography. We use a catalog of more than 1300 earthquakes widely distributed in location and depth to invert for the $P$ wave velocity ($V_p$) and the $V_p$/$V_s$ ratio. Extens...
