Figure 11. ASN double-difference relative locations fit to a plane using linear regression. A dashed, black line
depicts the best-fit plane and the view is looking along the strike direction (Table 2). The RMS misfit to the
plane is 135 m (or 114 m if the two off-axis points between 16.5 and 17.0 km are removed). Here the orien-
tation of the plane (075/49) is well defined owing to the precise alignment of the hypocentres. – Besta nálgun

in the Upptyppingar area as in most regions of Ice-
land. This is due to the fortuitous installation of six
nearby stations in 2004 to monitor the formation of
the Hálslón water reservoir (Jakobsdóttir, 2008). All
six SIL stations lie within 30 km of the Upptypping-
ar events. Moreover, SIL network stations are de-
ployed in vaults whereas most of the Cambridge Uni-
versity instruments, intended for temporary deploy-
ment, were buried directly in sand, dirt and pumice.
The SIL method of deployment reduces noise levels
in the seismic signals, which allows for more precise
time picking and locations.
