There are about 130 volcanic mountains in Iceland and 18 of them have erupted since Iceland was settled (874). Iceland is one of the most active volcanic sites in the world. Which is because not only is Iceland sitting on top of the boundary of the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates but also on top of a volcanic hotspot in the Mid-Atlantic rift.

∙ 15y ago==112== The island has about 130 volcanic mountains, of which 18 have erupted since the settlement of Iceland. (130 minus 18 = 112) - Some extra fun facts =D: Over the past 500 years, Iceland's volcanoes have erupted a third of the total global lava output. Although the Laki eruption in 1783 had the largest eruption of lava in the last 500 years, the Eldgjá eruption of 934 AD and other Holocene eruptions were even larger.

Iceland is actually one of the most active volcanic sites in the world; not only is Iceland sitting on top of the boundary of the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates, but also on top of a volcanic hotspot in the Mid-Atlantic rift.
