Anybody knows in which geological ancient history iceland had the biggest forrest? And also where? Im doing research can't find the answers... Anybody knows any good short information places websites ??

[@crazycatlady2744]

Presumably where it rains the most. A rainfall map is probably the best place to start. And it would have had forests right up until humans colonised it and introduced farm animals, so quite recently.

There's no such as Icelandic volcanism "in a nutshell". What we know is that Iceland is situated on a plate boundary and the fact that eruptions have build up such a mass of material, compared to the rest of the ridge, is very anomalous and still a somewhat scientific mystery. A mantle plume is one explanation but it's just a theory and currently not very well corroborated by the data- also claiming that these hypothetical plumes are responsible for plate tectonics is mere speculation. The cause and reason for these phenomena might very well be something completely different, only time will tell.
