Herðubreið

Herðubreið
Herðubreið, the queen of Icelandic mountains - and seat of the gods (many believe this is the Asgard of the sagas).

Herðubreið is a 1682m high table mountain (tuya) which erupted under ice age glaciation. At the very top (here covered by cloud) is a crater and some basalt whch made it out of the ice.
The mountain with its steep and near symmetrical shape rises 1000m above the vast surrounding highland desert and is visible from afar.

Thanks a lot, Roger! The sight is fascinating, you can see it for many miles. On roads that are so bad that you need 4 hours for 100km that's a relief;-)

Dankschee, poly! Da ruckelt man stundenlang über die Piste und es dauert ewig, bis der wirklich näherkommt:-)

Der Berg ist wohl tatsächlich gar nicht so hoch, sieht aber gewaltig aus.

Herzlichen Dank, Percy! Er erhebt sich immerhin 1000m über die Umgebung, das macht's.
