Keilir, Volcanic cone in Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland.
The conical mountain rises 378 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and multiple geological layers formed through subglacial eruptions.
During the Pleistocene epoch, volcanic activity under glacial ice created this formation through deposits of tephra in sequential eruption phases.
Generations of Icelandic fishermen and sailors have relied on this mountain's profile as a crucial navigation point along the coastline.
The hiking trail starts at Höskuldarvellir parking area, requiring a 3-kilometer walk to reach the mountain base before ascending to the summit.
At the peak, visitors find a concrete table with a metal direction indicator plate showing the surrounding geographical features.
