And Bárðarbunga could potentially be worse. Wiki says the 15th century eruption of this volcano was one of the 25 biggest in the last few thousand years. Sub glacial too. That could make things interesting downstream in Iceland for a while.
It also erupted the Pjorsa lava flow 6500 BC, which at 100 km long and containing about 30 cubic km of lava, is the single longest and most voluminous known lava flow on earth in the last 10,000 years. Icelandic lava flow tend to releases huge amounts of sulfide. A repeat of lava flow on this scale will likely generate several years of severely cooled global climate.
