Langjökull (Icelandic for "long glacier") is the second largest ice cap in Iceland (953 km2), after Vatnajökull. It is situated in the west of the Icelandic interior or Highlands of Iceland and can be seen clearly from Haukadalur. The glacier is located at . Its volume is 195 km³ and the ice is up to thick. The highest point of the ice cap (at Baldjökull at the northern end of Langjökull) is about above sea level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Redirecting... )〕 In the past, the largest recorded surface area was in 1840. ==Situation and form== The glacier is roughly parallel to the direction of the country's active volcanic zone (see volcanism in Iceland): north-east to south-west. It is about long and wide, and has a slightly narrower point roughly between the lake Hvítárvatn on the Kjölur mountain road to the east and the Þrístapajökull glacier to the west, near another smaller glacier, Eiríksjökull, which is not quite connected to Langjökull. It is the nearest large glacier to Reykjavík. The area of the glacier includes some mountains, e.g. ''Jarlhettur'' ("The earl's hat") on the east side of Langjökull, a palagonitic mountain range, which originated in a fissure vent under a glacier during Ice Age. The mountain ''Skríðufell'' () is situated on the east, above lake Hvítárvatn. Other mountains on the eastern side of Langjökull are Fjallkirkja (), Þursaborg () and Péturshorn ().〔Kortabók Mál og Menningar, Reykjavík 2005, pp.48/49 and 55/56, icel.〕 A little to the east of Fjallkirkja is the hut of the Icelandic Glacier Research Society (Jöklarannsóknarfélag), which includes scientists as well as interested amateurs.〔Íslandshandbókin.
