Iceland

Iceland is a unique country geologically. Home to both the Iceland plume hotspot and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland is one of the most volcanically active countries on our beautiful planet. Iceland is no stranger to volcanic eruptions and geological disturbances. This distinctive island is in the North Atlantic where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are moving apart at a rate of around 2 cm per year. The island experiences earthquakes on regular basis and, when conditions are right, volcanic eruptions.
