Hrafntinnusker, Mountain summit in the Icelandic Highland, Iceland.
Located eleven kilometers from Landmannalaugar, Hrafntinnusker stands in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve with geothermal features and rhyolite formations around its base.
The first mountain shelter was constructed in 1977 to assist hikers traversing the Laugavegur trail, marking the beginning of organized tourism in this region.
The mountain's name originates from the abundant obsidian deposits, naturally formed black glass rocks that resulted from rapid cooling of acidic magma.
The Höskuldsskáli mountain hut provides accommodation for 52 people, with facilities including a kitchen, dormitory, and outdoor camping areas on sand or gravel.
A diminishing glacier caps the mountain summit, while active geothermal vents create ice caves beneath the surface through steam rising from the ground.
