Earthquake activity in Greenland and El Hierro volcano, Canary Islands, Spain

On the 11th of April 2013 a magnitude 4.9 earthquake did take place in Greenland at 23:11 UTC. This earthquake had the magnitude 4.9 and the depth of at least 10 km. This is the second earthquake in this area for the past several months. I do not know if there have been any smaller earthquakes taking place in this area. Since it is poorly monitored.

Current activity in El Hierro volcano is less then for the past three weeks. There is a occasional large earthquake now. But nothing like in the last few weeks of March. I do not know how long this is going to last. But that might be for few weeks to years. Only time is going to tell us for how long this quiet time is going to last.
