someone will soon figure out that it makes sense to place large data centers there as there is a copious quantity of geothermal power and the climate is cooler than most - aiding in cooling data centers.

Earthquakes are one major issue--if a data center uses spinning drives. If it uses all SSD (solid state drives), earthquakes may (not) be an issue.

Maybe build it in the ocean a short distance offshore. A two-fer. Natural cooling via outside sea water, yet still close enough to a geothermal power source to be practical. Can't say how long the situation would be stable (geothermal power supply, wiring carrying power, and no lava flows causing problems).
