"🌋 On the western tip of the peninsula, Snæfellsjökull is a 700,000-year-old glacier-capped volcano. 🤞 In truth you need a little luck to see this majestic beauty, as Snæfellsjökull can be wholly shrouded in clouds. ☁️ Sometimes, misty clouds whorl around it, just hiding the top. So consider yourself lucky if visit on a sunny day and see Snæfellsjökull in all of its glory. 📚It became famous in Jules Verne's novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth. 🌋 This stratovolcano soars up 1,446 m (4,750 ft) above sea level and is active, but it last erupted 1,800 years ago. 🇮🇸 It’s called Snowy Mountain in Icelandic but is often referred to as Snæfellsjökull, the name of the glacier that crowns its peak. 💰 It’s possible to book tours to climb to the top, it’s a +5 hour round trip.

" The Snæfellsjökull glacier lies on top of a volcano and it's the center of the park. Its peak reaches 1446m (4745 ft) and in a clear day it can be seen from Reykjavik about 200 km away. The mountain was first climbed in 1754 and like many other volcanoes in Iceland, it is still active. The latest eruption occurred 1900 years ago. The glacier cover the summit crater to the depth of 200m (650 ft). Due to global warming the glacier has shrunken and it continues to shrink. Some researches predict that the glacier would vanish in less than 50 years. "
