It is one of the six volcanic systems under Vatnajökull. [1] The central volcano has a rim that rises to about 2,000 m (6,600 ft) above sea level, [a] making it the second highest mountain in Iceland, being lower than Hvannadalshnjúkur. The caldera is about 65 km 2 (25 sq mi), [1] up to 10 km (6.2 mi) wide and about 700 m (2,300 ft) deep.

[ 1 ] [ 4 ] During the Little Ice Age between 1600 and 1900 AD, with cooler temperatures prevailing in these latitudes, the glacier advanced to about 1 ...
