The Active Volcano in Norway; Bouvet Island

Norway contains an active volcano which few people are aware of. Known as Bouvet Island, it is surprisingly located in the southern hemisphere. Almost completely covered by glaciers, it has a large caldera and has erupted at least once in the last 10,000 years. This is all you need to know about Bouvet Island.
