What are the main volcanoes in Iceland?

If we want to drill the largest and oldest land from the bottom of the sea, it is Iceland. More than 100 million years ago, when North America and Europe separated and the Atlantic Ocean was born, young Iceland emerged from the cracks in the seabed. After that, the erupting volcano made it stronger and brought it rich geothermal resources.

At present, Iceland covers an area of10.03 million square kilometers, and the highest point, Vanadals volcano, is 2 1 19 meters above sea level. Volcanic hot springs are widely distributed, and Reykjavik, the capital, is a world-famous "smoke-free city" mainly relying on geothermal energy. Iceland has more than 100 volcanoes, which are called "polar fire islands", including 40 to 50 active volcanoes. The main volcanoes are Laki Volcano, Huanadals Volcano, Haikela Volcano and catra Volcano.
