Ingólfsfjall

The Medieval Landnámabók says that he passed here his third winter in Iceland after his arrival from Norway with his clan, and before his slaves found the columns of his high seat and he went to the region of Reykjavík to settle there.

The source also states that the chief was buried within the small mound on top of Ingólfsfjall.

[2] Ingólfsfjall consists mostly of basalt and palagonite and has its origin in subglacial eruptions which turned in the end subaerial and produced some lava at its top.

[4] By the end of the last Ice Age (Pleistocene), the mountain formed a small peninsula, because the sea level had risen after many glaciers had thawed.

[7] On the southwestern side of the mountain in the direction of the Hringvegur, there is a small truncated spur.
