Iceland was formed by lava erupted from the Mid-Ocean ridge, so volcanoes are attached to it from the ridge. You know, channels of molten material up from the mantle through the ocean and onto Iceland?
*Molten material is hardening right now and adding onto Iceland from deep under the ocean.*
So the recent ash eruption was probably caused by a volcano coming from the Mid-Ocean ridge.

Where do midocean ridges intersect the landmasses?
Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
