Reykjanes / Suðurnes edit

Should be merged with Suðurnes. They are different names for the same region. Gnarristi (talk) 16:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Reykjanesskagi is the formal word and Suðurnes is the colloquial. But officially, Reykjanes is merely the „heel“ of the peninsula, the most southwestern part of Reykjanesskagi. Reykjanes is sometimes colloquially used for the entire peninsula, but to avoid confusion with Reykjanes, Suðurnes is preferred.—SvartMan (talk) 22:56, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Guardian "could cause disruption for centuries" article: "Since 21 January, the Reykjanes peninsula south-west of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, has experienced more than 8,000 earthquakes and about 10cm of land uplift due to magma intrusions underground. .. Geological evidence shows the area is fed by five volcanic systems, which seem to come to life in a coordinated way roughly every 1,000 years."

Current version: "The area is fed by five volcanic systems; geological evidence suggests that they seem to activate in a coordinated way about every 1,000 years.

In the twelve weeks from 21 January 2020, after centuries of relative inactivity, there were more than 8,000 earthquakes and about 10cm of land uplift due to underground magma intrusions on the peninsula, leading to concerns of a new phase of activity which could cause disruption for centuries."
