Kverkfjoll
The Kverkfjöll mountains are located at the north side of Vatnajökull.
Two calderas are in the Kverkfjöll mountains. The caldera to the south is covered by a glacier but the rims of the northern caldera, are mostly ice-free except on the south side.
The highest peak is Skarpheðins-tindur 1,936 metres. The Kverkfjöll mountains are divided into eastern and western halves by Kverk, a wide pass in the abrupt rocky walls.
Kverkjökull, flows outwards via the Kverk pass. Massive glacier tongues extend from the Vatnajökull ice cap on both sides of the Kverkfjöll mountains.
