Hi all

This morning i did recorod a earthquake that was a 3.0ML based on early
resaults, it problay is larger in size then the automatic resaults
indicate. However, i have noticed something strange about this
earthquake. This earthquake has a energy componment down to 2Hz and down
to 1Hz, however i just don't recorod that frequancy (1Hz) that low good
with my geophone. There also appears to be sometype of a fraction in the
earthquake p and s waves. It appears more in the p wave, but is also
visable in the s wave. This might be becose there is a large volcano
between my location and where the earthquake did happen, i am not sure
about that however.

The files are here. http://seismicnet.com/cgi-dos/event.exe

They are named Ml3 189km from Hvammstangi, Iceland, Vatnajökull

I think that this might indcate that there is something in the making in
the area where this earthqauke did happen. But the area is inside a
volcano fissure swarm. The volcano in questions is named Bárđarbúnga
(Bárdarbunga), here are info about it.

Those volcanos are in between my location and where the earthquake did
happen.
http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1701-09= - Hofsjökull
http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1703-04= -
Tungnafellsjökull

I just wonder why this is, that's all.

Regards.
