The Land of Fire and Ice: An overview of volcanic activity, hazards and monitoring in Iceland by Dr Michelle Parks, NordVulk

Iceland is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world. This is due to the interaction between the plate spreading and the Icelandic hotspot. This small island contains 35 active volcanoes, each capable of exhibiting a very wide spectrum of volcanic activity. This presentation will provide an overview of the most active volcanoes in Iceland and the techniques used to monitor them.
