Hengill () is a volcanic table mountain situated in the south-west of Iceland, to the south of Þingvellir.

Kerið (; also Kerith or Kerid) is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area in south Iceland, along the Golden Circle. It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact. The site is a popular area for tourists in Iceland.

Reynisdrangar () are the basalt sea stacks situated under the mountain Reynisfjall near the village of Vík í Mýrdal in southern Iceland. It is framed by a black sand beach that was ranked in 1991 as one of the ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world. In 2021 Reynisfjara was rated the sixth best beach in the world.

Grímsnes () is a relatively small fissure or crater row volcanic system located in South Iceland, located south–east of Lake Thingvallavatn and east of the en echelon group of volcanic systems extending across the Reykjanes Peninsula, that erupted last in the Holocene.

Hrómundartindur () is a mountain in Iceland north of Hveragerði with an elevation of . It to the east of Hengill and is the central volcano of an adjacent long Hrómundartindur volcanic system, which contains the Ölkeduháls geothermal field. Like Hengill this area is close to the south-eastern triple junction of the Hreppar microplate, is seismically active, and associated with the Western volcanic zone and the South Iceland seismic zone. To the north-east are multiple tindars, and there is a Holocene lava flow called Tjarnahnúkshraun which covers with a volume of . The lava ranges from picrite
