Icelandic volcanoes are a prominent feature of the country's landscape, formed by its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This ridge is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, causing frequent volcanic activity. Iceland has around 130 volcanic mountains, with eruptions occurring approximately every 4-5 years on average. One of the most famous Icelandic volcanoes is Eyjafjallajökull, which erupted in 2010, disrupting air travel across Europe. Other notable volcanoes include Katla and Hekla, both known for their powerful eruptions. The unique geology of Iceland makes it a fascinating area for studying volcanic processes.
