Hallmundarhraun lava field formed from a large eruption that flowed from vents beneath Langjökull, shaping the lava-water falls; Húsafell was long a rectory and farming center.
Conservation
Langjökull and other Icelandic ice caps are retreating; visitors are asked to stick to paths, avoid disturbing moss, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
