Katla - aligning earthquakes

It is worth commenting that the activity at Katla is beginning to increase again. But it is doing so along a couple of discernible lines at the moment.

I first noticed this yesterday as the small increase in earthquakes and that they seemed to fall along two planes.

Given that this was an increase from a period of relative quiescence, albeit with the quakes that were occurring were still in the region of previous activity, it has started to become interesting again.

So, we’ll see how this progresses.
