It's worth noting that Iceland is currently in the midst of a large ongoing volcanic eruption, its largest eruption in centuries. Large numbers of people find themselves having to hide indoors to escape dangerous gases depending on which way the wind blows on any given day.
The current slow-moving eruption and seismic activity is fairly likely to lead to a catastrophic explosive event and massive flash floods that could destroy a significant amount of hydroelectric infrastructure.
Doesn't necessarily mean Iceland's not a good place to build huge data centers, but it's something to keep in mind.
