Answer: What would the altitude of Polaris be viewed from the Iceland Hot Spot? ... The answer would be 20 degrees as it is to the north and west as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the altitude of Polaris is 0 degrees if you are observing from the equator (0 degrees latitude) and 90 degrees if you are observing from the north pole (latitude 90 degrees),
