An earthquake in Iceland so strong that it was felt in our country (VIDEO and PHOTO)

A magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck Iceland on Monday morning, causing seismic waves that were detected by instruments in Slovenia, including at a school observatory in Podbrdo. Although the quake was not felt by people in Slovenia, modern seismographs can detect even weak seismic waves traveling through the Earth's interior. Iceland remains one of the most geologically active regions due to its location at the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The area around Reykjanes Peninsula has been closely monitored for recent increases in seismic activity and volcanic eruptions. Shortly after the Icelandic earthquake, Japan also experienced a strong tremor, though experts note there is no direct connection between the two events, as they occurred in different tectonic zones.

A magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck the area of Semmering in Austria late at night, felt by residents in both Austria and Slovenia. In Slovenia, the tremors were reported by some inhabitants of the northwest region but did not cause damage, with the intensity measured at level III on the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98). In Austria, the quake was felt in parts of Lower Austria and Styria, with reports from residents in Vienna indicating weaker shaking. Emergency services responded to minor damages on a road between Schottwien and Breitenstein, where several small rocks fell onto the roadway, though there are no reports of injuries or significant damage.
