This person's tweets caught my attention. There is a seismic "silence" in Japan and that is very strange.

Japan has had: (M1.5 or greater)

0 earthquakes in the past 24 hours

2 earthquakes in the past 7 days


33 earthquakes in the past 30 days

598 earthquakes in the past 365 days

2000 earthquakes happen in Japan every year

So what is happening in Japan?

6.1 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Japan, No Tsunami Warning Issued

Tokyo: A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck off Japan's northwestern coast on Wednesday but no tsunami warning was issued, Japanese and US authorities said.
The quake produced shaking across a large swath of the northeastern coast and was also felt in Tokyo, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake hit at a depth of 368 kilometres (228 miles) in the Sea of Japan, known as the East Sea in Korea.

Japan's meteorological agency said there was no tsunami risk following the jolt.

Japan sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", an arc of intense seismic activity that stretches through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.

Fortunately (?) the seismic silence in Japan was broken by an M6.1 earthquake, hopefully this is not a foreshock of a larger event.

Thousands of earthquakes occur every year in the State of Hawaii. They are caused by eruptive processes within the active volcanoes or by deep structural adjustments due to the weight of the islands on Earth's underlying crust.

Well now we know why the swarming

 
Apparent uptick in activity in Iceland; 1 quake of M3.9 - EMSC has it at M3.3 - this morning at 2am and a swarm of 1300 other tremors recorded since 27th September. Since there was no mention of a particular volcano this is connected to, although in all likelihood it's related, i'm posting it here:
