Baula, Mountain summit in western Iceland
Baula stands at 934 meters above sea level, featuring an almost perfect cone shape and displaying a distinct orange-red coloration from its rhyolite composition.
The mountain formed through igneous intrusion approximately 3.4 million years ago, creating a laccolith structure that remains visible in the current landscape.
Local geologists and researchers frequently visit Baula to study its volcanic formations, contributing to the understanding of Iceland's geological development.
Located near Route 1 and Bifröst University, Baula offers multiple hiking paths that lead visitors through various geological formations and observation points.
Next to Baula stands Litla-Baula, its smaller companion mountain, containing rare rhyolite columns that create an exceptional geological pairing.
