Langjökull Glacier, Highlands Of Iceland, Iceland

The area of the glacier includes some mountains, e.g. Jarlhettur ("The earl's hat") on the east side of Langjökull, a palagonitic mountain range, which originated in a fissure eruption under a glacier during Ice Age.
The mountain Skríðufell (1,235 m (4,052 ft)) is situated on the east, above lake Hvítárvatn. Other mountains on the eastern side of Langjökull are Fjallkirkja (1,177 m (3,862 ft)), Þursaborg (1,290 m (4,230 ft)) and Péturshorn (1,370 m (4,490 ft)).
A little to the east of Fjallkirkja is the hut of the Icelandic Glacier Research Society (Jöklarannsóknarfélag), which includes scientists as well as interested amateurs.
