Surtsey began forming in 1963 and is near which country?

Surtsey’s location relative to Iceland is what this question is about. It began forming in 1963 from a volcanic eruption offshore the southern coast of Iceland, rising above the sea in the North Atlantic. It sits off Iceland’s coast near the Vestmannaeyjar (Westman) Islands, making Iceland the nearby country. The other options are farther away in different parts of Europe, so Iceland is the best answer.
