This event has occurred on the 19th of March this year. Even though the experts consider this as a small scale eruption, it spat out a big amount of lava, putting on a eye catching show to the world!
This phenomenon occurs due to the location of the country. Iceland is situated over a conjunction of two tectonic plates. This placement of the country is the reason for the large number of volcanoes and the regular eruptions.

The eruption is small and the volcanic activity has somewhat decreased since yesterday evening. The eruptive fissure is appr. 500 – 700 m long. The lava area is less than 1 km2. Lava fountains are small and lava flows are currently a very local hazard. #Reykjanes #eruption pic.twitter.com/2YsSbGtIuZ

A volcanic eruption has begun in Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes peninsula. We are monitoring the situation closely and as of now it is not considered a threat to surrounding towns. We ask people to keep away from the immediate area and stay safe. https://t.co/iIACfCc31E

This is Fagradalsfjall. It's about 15 miles south of Reykjavik and just erupted. You can start practicing your pronunciation:
