While Monday’s eruption was not unexpected, it was larger than volcanologists had been predicting and took place not far from an evacuated town and a power plant.

From what I understand, it’s just that Iceland is a geologically active zone and had earthquakes and volcanoes for centuries. So they are pretty much used to it. They also make some positive use of it by harnessing geothermal energy (from what I’ve heard).
Yes iceland is literally on the fault between two plates. The island is being pulled apart. But socialized volcanos are way funnier.
But as it’s pulled apart, are volcanoes making more land, and growing the island’s size?
Japan on the other hand…
