Volcano in Iceland

Theistareykjarbunga is a shield volcano in north-eastern Iceland with two fissure vents called Þeistareykjahraun and Borgahraun, and two cones: the 370 m (1,210 ft) Stórahversmór and the 540 m (1,770 ft), 30 km3 (7.2 cu mi) Stóravíti. They both are currently extinct, although there is evidence suggesting the potential for activity such as recent localised uplift and seismicity.
