So, recently I was thinking on what would happen on the border between Ihu and Mangai. Seeing as Ihu is like a Taiga, but mainly a Gacier covering a large area.
Looking for information on how volcanoes interact with ice, I found one of the many volcanoes that reside underneath a glacier. I present you the 2014 eruption of Bardarbunga.

The volcano is a little strange. I had trouble identifying the vent (place where the lava comes from) at first. Turns out it is a stratovolcano and a caldera at that. It also has an associated volcanic system and a fissure swarm.
What does that mean? Well, volcanic system is basically a bunch of vents that are connected to the main vent. The fissure swarm is like the mane implies a bunch of fissure where lava can come out.
Tried drawing something inspired on this, but it is taking too long. I think this is the beginning of the Eruption, as later pictures have either covered the snow in ash or melted the ice.
Edit: I have to apologize that is a picture of another volcano, also from Iceland. The Holuhraun.
Edit: Holuhraun is a vent from the Bardarbunga, so same volcanoe, I guess, different vent?
Here is a birds eye view of the Bardarbunga, it is massive, to the point where pictures raely show the Ice during the eruption.

Can you see it? Took me some time.
