Shaped like its many namesakes, broad and square-shouldered, Búrfell dosn't betray its volcanic origin until you reach the top and are confronted by not only a crater - but a crater lake to boot! An easy and rewarding hi...
Located in the immediate vicinity of the Geysir geothermal area and not far from the waterfall Gullfoss, Bjarnarfell offers a fantastic view over the surrounding landscape - including landmarks such as Hekla and Vestmann...
Located just north of Þingvellir, Ármannsfell offers views of that region as well as the Kaldidalur area and the glaciers north of there. If you can arrange transportation doing the hike this way is ideal - otherwise you...
5.0Hlöðufell is the name of a beautiful mountain not far from Reykjavik (although that doesn't mean access is easy - 4x4s only and only after mid-June at the earliest). There is only one feasible route up the scree slope - ...

Iceland has dozens of mountains named "Búrfell" - some say it has something to do with the shape, they all tend to be squat and broad-shouldered. If you use this track then by all means use the return version - on the as...
OK, so Innsta-Jarlhetta doesn't feature in the Book (its cousin Stóra-Jarlhetta does) but this is a beautiful mountain which I have long dreamt of climbing. We tried last spring (on skis from Bláfellsháls) but found the ...
While the traditional ascent is along the ridgeline, our guide felt that in view of the snow still lying on the mountain and lack of equipment it would be safer to hook around the mountain and approach it up the valley t...
Located fairly close to Reykjavik, Geitafell offers an opportunity for an evening walk, the total distance being about 10 klicks. The mountain isn't really high enought to oiffer spectaclar views but you do get an overvi...
Bláfell is a large lump of rock located just east of the Kjölur route across the Icelandic highlands. The view from the summit must be spectacular - regrettably there was no visibity when I was there in late October 2005...
As is so often the case in Iceland the trick isn't the hike itself - it's getting to where the hike starts. This mountain can only be approached by 4x4 or a mountain bus. Although it doesn't much look like one, it's a vo...
Hrútfell is a beautiful glacier-capped mountain to the west of the Kjalvegur road. The ascent is surprisingly easy, if you have a 4x4 it is quite possible to make this a daytrip from Reykjavík in summer.
Hagafjall is the name of a smallish mountain nestling on the banks of Iceland's largest river, Þjórsá. Although it's pretty far from Reykjavík we managed to do this hike in December (4 hours of daylight!) of 2005, it is ...
On August 13th 2006, I led a tour group to one of my favourite little peaks, Klakkur. Since transportation was by bus we had to stick to the "easy" 4x4 track rather than approach the peak more closely - this resulted in ...
Volcanic in origin, Hrafnabjörg mountain is located NE of the old parliament site at Þingvellir. Although the mountain looks pretty rugged from the western side it is in fact very easily ascended from the other side. For...
Although often referred to as "Tröllhetta", the proper name of this mountain is Stóra-Jarlhetta (or so say the locals). An easy and rewarding hike - especially if the weather is good. For some pictures click on the title...
Mjög auðveld ganga og alveg ótrúlegt útsýni af fjallinu í góðu skyggni.
