Jarðskjálfi, 3,7 að stærð, varð við Torfajökul, vestur af Landmannalaugum, þegar klukkuna vantaði tólf mínútur í tólf. Frá 2000 hafa fimmtán skjálftar sem voru þrír eða stærri mælst á þessum slóðum. Sá stærsti þeirra, þar til í dag, varð árið 2018. Hann var 3,7 að stærð eins og skjálftinn í dag. Upptök skjálftans voru á 1,3 kílómetra dýpi, sem er frekar grunnt.
