Iceland volcanic eruption.1.

Iceland is one of the places with the highest volcanic activity on Earth.

In total, there are 150-200 extinct and active volcanoes in the island country.

The situation is explained by the fact that this state is located on the so-called "Icelandic ridge" between the American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

There are tectonic faults in different regions of the planet.

In such places, it is easier for volcanic magma to come to the surface.

At the boundaries of tectonic plates, for example, Hawaii and Reunion Island are located.

But the largest "border" island is Iceland!
