Kverkfjöll (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkʰvɛr̥kˌfjœtl̥] ⓘ) is a potentially active central volcano, fissure swarm, and associated mountain range situated on the northern border of the glacier Vatnajökull in Iceland. [3] It is located in Vatnajökull National Park and at the glacier edge are ice caves and some geothermal features. [6]

Kverkfjoll is a mountain massif underneath and on the northern edge of the icecap Vatnajökull. It is clearly visible from the main road in the north on a fine day. It contains two high mountains (1920 and 1860m) and a high temperature area (10 km²). Just above the thermal area one of the huts of The Glaciological Society is situated (1977).

The Kverkfjöll mountain range, Iceland’s third highest mountain group, is a cluster of peaks formed by a large central volcano on the northern edge of the Vatnajökull ice cap. Two ice-filled calderas are believed to be in the Kverkfjöll mountains and on the Kverkfjöll ridge.

Kverkfjöll is a sub-glacial mountain range on the northern side of the Vatnajökull glacier. Its highest point is 1,764 metres (5787 feet). Explore this area while on a self drive tour in Iceland.

克韦尔克火山 (Kverkfjöll)坐落于冰岛东南部，是瓦特纳冰川 (Vatnajökull)东北方向的一条分支冰川，最高处海拔达1764米。 克韦尔克山位于 瓦特纳冰川 与丁久山 (Dyngjufjöll，即 阿斯基亚火山)之间，是一组活跃的活火山，曾在历史上数度大型喷发。 山群下方有一座巨大的岩浆房；源源不断的热能渐渐融解覆盖其上的冰盖，从而在冰川下方塑造了许多天然冰洞；因地质运动剧烈，这些冰洞的构造极不稳定，故而未曾对游客开放。

2021年5月2日 · Rising to an altitude of 1920 meters at the summit of the tallest peak, Skarphédstindur, the Kverkjöll range also includes the volcanoes in the ground.

The Kverkfjöll mountain range, Iceland's third highest mountain group, is a cluster of peaks formed by a large central volcano on the northern edge of the ice cap.One of Iceland's most active high-temperature geothermal areas is located in the western Kverkfjöll Mountains. Its existence is due to a fault scarp.

Kverkfjöll is a large subglacial volcano at the NE end of the Vatnajökull icecap. Two elliptical ice-filled calderas, each about 8 x 5 km in size, have been identified. An associated fissure swarm can be traced 60 km to the NE. A half dozen ridges of subglacially erupted pillow lavas are now exposed and extend beyond the glacial icecap to the NE.
