Iceland XXII - Stóra Eldborg Volcano │ Part 117

Stóra-Eldborg undir Geitahlíð is a small Holocene volcano in Iceland, on Reykjanes peninsula, 50 m high, with a 30 m deep crater. It is located at about 5 km from Krýsuvík and as the name says at the foot of a bigger mountain, the tuya of Geitahlíð.

Despite its location, just some 5 km from the high temperature area of Seltún, the volcano and its counterparts, the crater rows, fissures, as well as the tuya Geitahlíð (385 m) with the crater Æsubúðir on its top, are not part of the Krýsuvík volcanic system, but of the volcanic system of Brennisteinsfjöll as its southernmost outpost.

Eldborgir erupted about 2400 BP. The crater row also includes some lava channels. The lava at time of eruption run 2,5 km to the sea

The crater and its surroundings were placed under nature protection in 1987 as a natural monument inside of Reykjanesfólkvangur

The location is connected to the fólk tale about the cousins Krýsa and Herdís. The old women, who could use witchcraft, had a hefty discussion about the borders of their respective lands. One wanted to cast a spell so that all the fish in a nearby lake would be hairy, the other intended to bring up a storm and let all fishermen die. But this did not happen. Instead, the dispute ended with the death of both of them. The fólk tale says that they were buried side by side and the place of the graves is still known to locals
