Stratovolcanoes of Iceland

Hekla (), or Hecla, is an active stratovolcano in the south of Iceland with a height of . Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since the year 1210. During the Middle Ages, the Icelandic Norse called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell" and the idea spread over much of Europe.

Snæfellsjökull (, snow-fell glacier) is a 700,000-year-old glacier-capped stratovolcano in western Iceland. It is situated on the westernmost part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Sometimes it may be seen from the city of Reykjavík over Faxa Bay, at a distance of .

Bárðarbunga (, alternative name Veiðivötn), is an active and productive stratovolcano located under Vatnajökull, which is Iceland's most extensive glacier, in Vatnajökull National Park. The second highest mountain in Iceland, above sea level, Bárðarbunga is also part of the Bárðarbunga-Veiðivötn volcanic system that is approximately long and wide.

The largest active volcano and the highest peak in Iceland at , it lies within the Vatnajökull National Park and is covered by part of the glacier.

Eldfell is a volcanic cone just over high on the Icelandic island of Heimaey in the Westman Islands. It formed in a volcanic eruption that began without warning on the eastern side of Heimaey on 23 January 1973. The name means Hill of Fire in Icelandic.

Tindfjallajökull (, alternatively Tindafjallajökull) is a glacier in the south of Iceland whose name is also given to the underlying stratovolcano. Tindfjöll (, "peak mountains") is a ridge that extends to the south of the glacier and is an alternative name for the volcano. The name of the glacier in Icelandic means "Tindfjöll glacier".

The Brennisteinsalda () is a volcano in the south of Iceland. Its height is about 855 m. It is situated near Landmannalaugar and not far from Hekla.

Eiríksjökull (Icelandic for "Eirík's glacier", ) is a glacier north-west of Langjökull in Iceland, with an area of reaching a height of , atop the largest table mountain in Iceland which goes by the same name.

The subglacial Esjufjöll () volcano is located in the south-east part of the Vatnajökull icecap. Esjufjöll is a strict nature reserve (IUCN category Ia).

Hrómundartindur () is a mountain in Iceland north of Hveragerði with an elevation of . It to the east of Hengill and is the central volcano of an adjacent long Hrómundartindur volcanic system, which contains the Ölkeduháls geothermal field. Like Hengill this area is close to the south-eastern triple junction of the Hreppar microplate, is seismically active, and associated with the Western volcanic zone and the South Iceland seismic zone. To the north-east are multiple tindars, and there is a Holocene lava flow called Tjarnahnúkshraun which covers with a volume of . The lava ranges from picrite

Hlöðufell is 1188 metres above sea level, and was formed when lava erupted through Langjökull (which was larger during the last ice age) during the Pleistocene. The tuya also has the characteristics of a composite volcano.

The Dyngjufjöll is a volcanic mountain range in the northeast of Iceland which belongs to the Askja volcanic system. It is part of the Vatnajökull National Park, and contains the Askja caldera.
