Kverkfjöll

Kverkfjöll (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkʰvɛr̥kˌfjœtl̥]) is a potentially active central volcano, fissure swarm, and associated mountain range situated on the northern border of the glacier Vatnajökull in Iceland. It is located in Vatnajökull National Park and at the glacier edge are ice caves and some geothermal features. The main volume of the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river flows from the Kverkfjöll area. The Volga River directly drains the Kverkjökull glacier into the Jökulsá á Fjöllum. These river systems have had significant jökulhlaups during the Holocene that are related to the three active volcanic systems of Bárðarbunga, Grímsvötn and Kverkfjöll but assignment has been difficult to individual volcanic systems.

Location: Iceland.
