Tindfjallajokull is a moderate-sized stratovolcano topped by a caldera which is filled in flat
with an icefield. It is located just southeast of Hekla, and is supposed to be a fine ski
ascent and descent. The two highest peaks in the massif are called Ymir (4797 ft / 1462 m)
and Yma (4751 ft / 1448 m). |
