What people say
Nally Preseault
"Hengill is a table mountain and volcano just outside the Capital Region in southwest Iceland. Though the volcano hasn't erupted in about 2,000 years, it's still an active one. Steaming fumaroles and boiling hot springs line its slopes. Warm water flows down the Varmá river. While its geothermal activity heats two power stations, Hveragerði's homes, and numerous greenhouses. Add fabulous views, which extend all the way to Þingvallavatn in the north and the Icelandic coast in the south, on Hengill's hiking trails."
