About
The Hofsjökull volcanic system (also Hofsjökull-Kerlingarfjöll volcanic system) contains the largest active central volcano in Iceland. It is called Hofsjökull (Icelandic: "temple glacier", Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈhɔfsˌjœːkʏtl̥]), after the icecap of the same name. The system is in the west of the Highlands of Iceland and north of the dormant central volcano of Kerlingarfjöll Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈcʰɛ(r)tliŋkarˌfjœtl̥]), which is usually regarded as part of the same volcanic system.
