Iceland Landscape in Winter Twilight │ Helgafell Volcano in Hafnarfjörður

Helgafell Volcano in Hafnarfjörður │ Iceland Landscape from Air

Helgafell, or “Holy Mountain,” eas formed in the late Ice Age when a volcano erupted under a glacier, today Helgafell Mountain anchors Hafnarfjörður. Rising low in the distance beyond the town, this dense sandstone and lava mound is often referred to as the town’s mountain.
Despite standing only 338 m (1300 feet) high, the panoramic view from the summit is picture-perfect with views of Reykjavík, Flaxafói Bay, the Reykjanes Peninsula, and of course, Hafnarfjörður.
