Talking of Iceland, I thought the activity there was due to it being bang on top of the Mid Atlantic ridge rather than a subduction zone where most volcanoes seem to be. Is that to simple?

It's on the mid-atlantic ridge, but it's also believed to be above a mantle plume.

The link in the OP is kaput. I'm reasonably certain this link serves as its replacement.

The notion of ever more old people needing ever more young people, who in turn will grow old and need ever more young people, and so on ad infinitum, is an obvious ecological Ponzi scheme.
