Short summary
We address the problem of seismicity in the intraplate area of northern Fennoscandia using the information on local events recorded by the POLENET/LAPNET seismic array. We relocate the seismic events, calculate a 3-D tomographic P wave velocity model of the uppermost crust and investigate a focal mechanism of the event. Our results demonstrate that the Baltic-Bothnia Megashear is an important large-scale, reactivated tectonic structure that has to be taken into account when estimating seismic hazard.
