Hafnarfjall, Mountain summit in Hvalfjarðarsveit, Iceland

Hafnarfjall rises to an elevation of 844 meters, featuring multiple peaks and basalt formations along its northern face near Borgarnes town.

The mountain originated from a central volcano that formed between four to six million years ago, leaving behind remnants of a caldera system.

The mountain's name combines Icelandic words 'höfn' meaning harbor and 'fjall' meaning mountain, reflecting its position near the coastline.

Hikers can access the mountain via a trail starting near the bridge at Borgarnes, with the Ring Road providing convenient transportation access.

The northern section of Hafnarfjall contains an unusual geological formation of pure gabbro, distinguishing it from other Icelandic mountains.

Elevation above the sea: 844 m
