How do volcanoes erupt in glaciers in countries like Iceland when they are so cold?
Volcanoes are driven by forces deep inside the Earth, where it is always very hot. Conditions that deeps are not affected by temperatures at the surface. The rising molten rock is extremely hot and does not lose heat all that quickly, and so can erupt regardless of climate. Compared with something as hot as magma, the temperature difference between places such as Iceland and Hawaii is relatively small. Both are much cooler than the melting point of rock.

How much sulphur dioxide is produced in Iceland?
Sulphar Dioxide is the gas that volcanoes release. How much Iceland produces depends on how many and how often volcanoes erupt.

How can glaciers and volcanoes exist on Iceland.?
Glaciers exist on Iceland because it is far enough North to still have remnants from the Ice Age, as well as to be able to accumulate snow in an ongoing glacier process. Volcanoes exist on Iceland because it is located on the Mid Atlantic Rift, and is in an area on volcanism due to rifting and accretion between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate.
