Hraundrangi (Lava Column〔Andrew Evans, ''Iceland'', Bradt Travel Guides, 2nd ed. Chalfont St Peter: Bradt Travel Guides / Guilford, Connecticut: Globe Pequot, 2011, ISBN 9781841623610, (p. 330 ).〕 or Rockfall Spire〔("Jónas Hallgrímsson: 'Öxnadalur'" ), at Dick Ringler, Texts and Commentaries, University of Wisconsin, 1996–98.〕) is a conical peak in the Drangafjall ridge dividing Öxnadalur from Hörgárdalur in north Iceland. It rises to above sea level, above the ridge.〔 It was probably originally named simply "Drangi" and acquired the prefix from the farm of Hraun, which lies below it on the Öxnadalur side.〔Bjarni E. Guðleifsson, ("Hraundrangi en ekki Hraundrangar" ), ''Dagur'', 25 October 1995, p. 8 .〕 The ridge is often erroneously referred to as Hraundrangar, the plural of Hraundrangi.〔 The mountain rises to an unusually sharp point, less than half a square metre at the peak. It is a lava spire that remains with the rest of the ridge after much of the original mountain, Háafjall, fell in a large rockslide many centuries ago.〔〔 The first successful ascent of Hraundrangi was on 5 August 1956, by Finnur Eyjólfsson and Sigurður Waage of the Icelandic Air Ground Rescue Team and United States Air Force Lieutenant Nicholas Clinch.〔("Europe, Iceland, Hraundrangi, in Öxnadal" ), American Alpine Club, retrieved 29 March 2014.〕〔 A legend that a treasure chest would be found on the peak proved untrue.〔("Hver kleif Hraundranga í Öxnadal fyrstur og hvenær var það?" ), Vísindavefurinn, University of Iceland, retrieved 29 March 2014 〕 The mountain features in "Ferðalok" ("Journey's End"), a poem written at the end of his life by Jónas Hallgrímsson, who was born at Hraun.〔("Jónas Hallgrímsson: 'Journey's End'" ), at Dick Ringler, Texts and Commentaries, University of Wisconsin, 1996–98.〕 The last stanza of the poem alludes to a legend that the saga hero Grettir the Strong climbed it and left his knife and belt on the peak as proof;〔 Hraundrangi was supposedly also called Grettisnúpa" ("Grettir's Crag") by the people of Öxnadalur.〔 The 10,000 Icelandic krónur banknote issued in October 2013 honours Jónas Hallgrímsson and has on the obverse a background image of Hraundrangi and the rest of the ridge formed out of neologisms coined by the poet.〔("Nýr 10.000 kr. seðill" ), Central Bank of Iceland, 2013 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hraundrangi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
