  • There are multiple possible heights, but used here is the one for the Prestahnúkur peak itself which is without ice/snow cover for some of year. The fissure field to the south has icecap cover with National Landsurvey of Iceland giving a higher spot height currently of 1329 m and a historic height of 1350 m for this region outside the central volcano. Catalogue of Icelandic Volcanoes gives 1383 m in its Central Volcano section which presumably includes the ice of Geitlandsjökull and 1223 m in its Geological setting and tectonic context section on the entry for Prestahnúkur. GVS gives 1385 m which was an icecap height of Geitlandsjökull which has also varied historically downward from 1400 m as the ice has melted. The central volcano height is more correctly that of the terrain under Geitlandsjökull but a referenced height explicitly without the ice needs to be identified.
