Not been near a volcano, but Iceland also has a very sulphuric smell in general, like eggs almost. It is in everything like the air and the water.

If you've been to Iceland you've probably been near volcanoes, just not necessarily active ones. This volcano that is currently erupting is only about 10 miles from Keflavik Airport (and maybe 5 miles from the Blue Lagoon, if you went there).

Haha you would be right then. Only saw some geothermal vents and hot springs but yeah, there is a lot of earth activity going on there.

Definitely exercise caution when parading around Iceland: nobody is going to stop you from walking yourself into something hot/dangerous.
