New seismic activity has been noticed at Snæfellsnes in Iceland. It can be compared with the present activity at Reykjanes where 10 eruptions have occurred since 2021.
The two volcanic sites, marked on the map, can be compared with the model of convection rolls related to the formation of the Reykjanes Ridge and Kolbeinsey Ridge. Together, they form the sections of the large Mid-Atlantic Ridge found south and north of Iceland. Within Iceland, several volcanic zones replace the mid-ocean ridge, and sometimes Iceland is described as a plateu on the top of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The largest volcanic zones, called the West Volcanic Zone, East Volcanic Zone and North Volcanic Zone, are not marked on the map.
Combining the ends of the said two ridge sections, it can be seen that the two volcanic sites have a similar position compared with the relevant line. The site of Snæfellsnes has not erupted yet, but it is known that magma intrusion is responsible for seismic activity there. The Icelandic Met Office has some information regarding the activity at the Snæfellsnes Peninsula:
