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.
