Kerlingarfjöll Essentials

Kerlingarfjöll is a 1,477-meter-high mountain range in the central highlands of Iceland, characterized by its distinctive rhyolite composition and intense geothermal activity. The area features Hveradalir, a valley filled with fumaroles, boiling mud pots, and steam vents. Key summits include Snækollur, the highest peak, and Fannborg. The Jökulfall river flows through the region, creating the broad Gýgjarfoss waterfall. The Highland Base serves as the primary hub for year-round access to the hiking trails and natural hot springs situated within the Ásgarður valley.
