Lónsöræfi

[citation needed] These mostly date from a period between 5 and 7 million years ago, when the volcano Kollumúlaeldstöðvar [ˈkʰɔtlʏˌmuːlaˌɛltˌstœðvar̥] was active.

[citation needed] The glacier tongues of the eastern extreme of Vatnajökull also impose themselves on the area.

Visible to the north-west is Snæfell [ˈstnaiːˌfɛtl̥] (1833m), the highest peak in Iceland that isn't part of a glacier.

There are mountain huts at Geldingafell [ˈcɛltiŋkaˌfɛtl̥], Múlaskáli [ˈmuːlaˌskauːlɪ] and Egilssel [ˈeijɪlsˌsɛːl̥][citation needed] run by regional associations of Ferðafélag Íslands.

A 4-6 day walking route from Snæfell to Stafafell is possible[citation needed] via the Eyjabakkajökull [ˈeiːjaˌpahkaˌjœːkʏtl̥] glacier tongue.
