Stóra-Björnsfell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stóra-Björnsfell is an elongated medum-sized tuya located in Iceland. It contains pillow lava, hyaloclastite and steet lava. The volcano formed when a subglacial eruption occurred beneath an ice sheet during the last ice age. Stóra-Björnsfell's pillow lava appears originally to have erupted from a fissure.[citation needed]
