M5.4 earthquake, SW of Fagradalsfjall, Reykjanes on March 14’th 2021

Rock fall from Mt. Slaga just after the primary wave has hit. The secondary wave hits 12 seconds into the video and then we feel the fault underneath us moving. The initial shock of the tremor instantanously blasted away large sections of the cliff face that started coming down the slopes, yet mostly ended up inside of the road. One large boulder and a few smaller rocks stayed on the road and a few rocks crossed it. When the earthquake hit we were investigating the reach of previous rock fall and the extent of the damage from previous earthquakes. The car was parked safely around the corner away from steep slopes. Needless to say that the advice to stay off hillsides is sound during this period of seismic unrest.
