Best Answer

The eruptions would normally be passive in nature, however when the magma mixes with the glaciers present on the volcano it gets more explosive. The volcano is of the same style as Hawaiian volcanoes, however, with the presence of ice the eruptions tend to produce large amounts of steam and ash that can cause explosive outbursts.
