Iceland in the grip of hundreds of earthquakes
An unprecedented event captured live by seismologists
Up to 74 tremors were detected by the Icelandic monitoring network in the past 48 hours
Iceland has been hit by a series of hundreds of earthquakes in the past 48 hours, with up to 74 tremors detected by the Icelandic monitoring network. The earthquakes, which have been centered in the northwest, northeast, and central highlands of the country, have caused widespread concern and disruption.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office has issued a warning urging people to stay away from the affected areas, as there is a risk of further earthquakes and landslides. The earthquakes have also caused damage to some buildings and infrastructure, and have disrupted power and water supplies in some areas.
Seismologists are still trying to determine the cause of the earthquakes, but they believe that they may be related to the movement of magma beneath the Earth's surface. The earthquakes are a reminder of the power of nature, and of the importance of being prepared for natural disasters.
