About

Snæfell (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈs(t)naiːˌfɛtl̥], "snow mountain") at 1,833 m (6,014 ft) high, is an ice-capped stratovolcano located in the north-east part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. While it has been dormant in the Holocene, it is now known to have had repose times of over 100,000 years between eruptions, so it cannot be assumed to be extinct.
