Of the 26 active volcanoes in Iceland, the most active is Hekla. In the Middle Ages it was called the Gateway to Hell. Its height is 1491 m, and the ideal, gentle forms of the slopes are somewhat reminiscent of the Japanese Mount Fuji. In fact, Hekla is the same national symbol for the Icelanders as Fuji is for the Japanese.
Volcanic eruptions are common for Icelanders. These natural disasters do not cause panic among the population, the evacuation is calm and organized. And then the citizens of Iceland return to their homes and responsibilities. As for the hot underground springs, which are two hundred and fifty scattered throughout the country, they are simply a blessing for the locals, not a curse.
