Icelandic Hotspot
The Icelandic Hotspot is a volcanic region located beneath the island of Iceland. It is part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates diverge. This hotspot is responsible for the island's unique geological features, including numerous volcanoes, geysers, and hot springs.
The hotspot is characterized by high volcanic activity, with eruptions occurring frequently throughout history. Notable eruptions include those of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 and Katla, which is known for its potential to erupt violently. The geothermal energy produced by the hotspot is harnessed for heating and electricity, making Iceland a leader in renewable energy.
