Fremrinámar

Fremrinámur () is a volcano with a located on the basalt plateau in Iceland. It is at the junction of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Greenland–Iceland–Faeroe Ridge. It is one of five volcanic systems found in the axial rift zone in north-east Iceland. Its height is about .

== Geology == There is a central volcano and a fissure swarm which is part of the Northern Volcanic Zone. The Fremrinámar volcanic system is about long, extending to the north sea coast, and up to wide. The last eruption was in 800 BC (± 300 years). However compositional analysis of at least one recent southern local lava shows similarities to lavas from the Bárðarbunga volcanic system and so eruption history local to the volcano requires further understanding. After the last ice age there have been two periods of local activity, with a large lava shield of more than volume in the early Holocene and at least three lava shields deposited between 5000 and 3000 years ago, including the Ketildyngja lava shield. The largest recent fissure eruption was 3200 years ago and produced the Búrfellshraun lava flow which is in area. Recent lavas have been tholeiite basalt but in the Pleistocene the central volcano erupted silicic lava and multiple tuyas and tindars were formed under the ice sheet. Associated with the central volcano is a geothermal field that is just above the top of the shield volcano deposits.
