Hverfjall, a strikingly symmetrical, tephra cone or tuff ring volcano, is an awe-inspiring natural landmark in Iceland's volcanic landscape. Formed about 2,500 years ago, this volcano is a classic example of a tuff ring, standing at approximately 396 meters above the surrounding terrain. The eruption that created Hverfjall was explosive, given the type of magma (usually basaltic) that interacted with water, causing a volatile reaction. This eruption resulted in the ejection of huge quantities of ash and tephra, creating the impressive circular crater approximately 1 kilometer in diameter.
