Volcanic activity in Iceland can be a complicated phenomena. The concept of a volcanic system is basically an attempt of geologists to simplify what is involved. Volcanic system consists of a central volcano and/or fissure swarms which extend out from a volcano. As a general rule, volcanic system is named after the central volcano.
