That's about one earthquake a minute.

Since this is a science group, perhaps the Icelandic Met Office's writeup is a better source.
Thanks for this. It’s concerning the similarities they see between Fagradalsfjall 2021, and the seismic activity they recorded a month before that eruption. And certainly justifies the declaration of a state of emergency.
The main difference is that this time the volume of magma is much larger.
