Keilir

Keilir is a Pleistocene subglacial mound or perhaps a conical tuya on Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland. Basal area is 0.773 km2, summit area 0.004 km2, basal width 0.99 km, summit width 0.07 km, volume 0.0362 km3.

Formation
Keilir was formed during a subglacial fissure eruption which concentrated in the end at one vent. Except the cone, also some small subglacially formed hills to the north are results of this eruption. and in the case of Keilir the Reykjanes Rift as part of the rift zones crossing Iceland. Also similar are their rocks – mafic lapilli tuff (in Icelandic: móberg). ==Landmark==
Landmark
As the mountain is easily recognized from afar, eg. from Reykjavík, but also from sea, it was used as a landmark by fishermen and seamen for many centuries. ==Hiking==
Hiking
There is a hiking trail leading up on the mountain from ENE. At the top, a guestbook can be found within a box. An excellent view over a big part of Reykjanes Peninsula and Faxaflói is to be expected from the top in good weather. ==See also==
