Disagree with this - I was in Iceland this summer when the volcano erupted (ironically at Blue Lagoon just 2 hours before it erupted) and people there just go about their daily business like nothing happened. There was a 5.2 earthquake the day before it erupted and kids kept playing in the street.

I live in downtown Reykjavik and unless you’re paying attention you miss most of them even the strong ones. Definitely more of a thing in Grindavík and I don’t envy the people living there although they’re probably used to it by now. The big earthquake a day or two ago did cause an exodus of tourists from the Blue Lagoon Hotel though.
