Bláhnjúkur, Volcanic mountain in Landmannalaugar, Iceland.
The blue-black colored Bláhnjúkur rises to 940 meters, offering views of five glaciers and multicolored rhyolite mountains in the surrounding landscape.
The mountain emerged through volcanic activity over thousands of years, contributing to the formation of Landmannalaugar's current geological features and hot springs.
The name Bláhnjúkur translates to Blue Peak in English, reflecting the distinctive coloration caused by volcanic ash deposits on its slopes.
The hiking trail spans 6.1 kilometers round trip with an elevation gain of 350 meters, requiring approximately three hours to complete from the campground.
From its summit, visitors can observe five different glaciers while standing amid a landscape of contrasting colors created by volcanic minerals.
