Pall Einarsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland made the warning. He says that Katla, Hekla, Bárðarbunga and Grímsvötn could all erupt.
While all four volcanoes are closely monitored by geophysicists, it is very hard to predict which will erupt, exactly when and the extent of the eruption
With 130 volcanoes – both active and inactive - Iceland is one of the most intensely volcanic places in the world.
An expert has now warned that four of the country's biggest volcanoes are priming to erupt, which could lead to travel chaos.
The volcanoes in question are Katla, Hekla, Bárðarbunga and Grímsvötn – three of which have already erupted in the last 20 years.
The warning follows the 2010's explosive eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull, which caused more than 10 million air passengers to be stranded and cost the European economy an estimated £4 billion ($4.9 billion).
