Actually we have volcanic eruptions, avalanches and erathquakes quite frequently (yes i live in Iceland). Avalanches cause deaths very rarely (since Iceland is so sparsely populated) and i don't think we've head any deaths due to earthquakes in the last 100 years.
We had a pretty big earthquake (6.5 on Richter) on june 17th 2000 (our independence day
Volcanic eruptions are also pretty common. Here's a small list of dates - locations (you can try googling them):
2004 Grímsvötn
2000 Hekla
1998 Grímsvötn
1996 Gjálp
1991 Hekla
Most of these weren't big (except the one in 1991 and 1998) bet the one in 1998 caused a considerable flood (Skeiðarárhlaup) which damaged our main higway and destroyed a couple of bridges.
I dare to claim that human casualties due to natural disasters for the last 100 years is below 100 people (the worst being two avalanches that hit in 1995 in Flateyri and Súðavík)
