Hraundrangar Mountain Range - 2015
Hraundrangi (Lava Column or Rockfall Spire) is a conical peak in the Drangafjall ridge dividing in north Iceland.
It rises to 1,075 metres above sea level, 80 metres above the ridge.
The first successful ascent of Hraundrangi was in 1956.
A legend that a treasure chest would be found on the peak proved untrue.
The mountain features in "Ferðalok" ("Journey's End"), a poem written at the end of his life by Jónas Hallgrímsson, who was born nearby.
