Yes they are. We had the famous occasion in 2010 that disrupted flights all over Europe. Volcanic ash can also be poisonous to animals, so farming can be affected. Any serious eruptions can disrupt people in Iceland, as they do in other parts of the world. People may be more used to volcanoes in Iceland than in some countries, but they still cause problems for them.
