My Volcanic Island
ICELAND GEOLOGY
Iceland geology is characterized by its dynamic and diverse natural features, shaped by the interactions of tectonic plates and volcanic activity. The country is situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This unique geological setting contributes to Iceland's geological phenomena, making it a land of glaciers, geysers, hot springs, and volcanoes.
VOLCANIC ACTIVITIES
Iceland is one of the most volcanically active regions on Earth. The country experiences eruptions approximately every 4-5 years on average. While some eruptions are small and localized, others can have broader implications, impacting air travel and even global climate.
