Skjaldbreiður, meaning the broad shield in Icelandic, is an Icelandic mountain from
whose name the term "shield volcano" derives. It was formed in a huge and protracted
eruption roughly 9,000 years ago. The extensive lava fields which were produced by this
eruption, flowed southwards, and formed the basin of Þingvallavatn, Iceland's largest lake
and Þingvellir, the "Parliament Plains" where the Icelandic national assembly
the Alþing was founded in the year 930.
The volcano culminates at 1,060 metres, and its crater measures roughly 300 metres in diameter.

Cooler, this is a lovely shot and really buries the Southern European notion that Iceland is a barren 'moonscape'. Keep 'em coming.
