	Hengill triple junction
		At the Hengill triple junction the South Iceland seismic transform zone (SISZ) and the Western volcanic zone meet the Reykjanes peninsula oblique rift.
		The seismicity in the Hengill area was low from November 1998 until the SISZ June 2000 earthquakes, when a moderate swarm was triggered by the large earthquakes (Figure 29).
		It is likely that the network measurements at RKOT between November 1998 and March 1999 [Hreinsdóttir (1999)] were unable to detect uplift at station because the expected uplift in the period, less than 10 mm assuming a rate of 20 mm/yr, is of the same order as the uncertainties in network GPS measurements.

		Hengill is a cluster of mountains just outside Reykjavik, Iceland's capital and largest city.
		One of Hengill's most distinguishing features is an extensive, beautiful geothermal area with natural hot springs and colourful steam vents.
		Earthquakes are frequent in the hengill region because it's an area of lively tectonic and volcanic activity, although 2,000 years have now passed since the last eruption.

	Output & Distribution
		There is intense geothermal activity in a wide area around the Hengill volcanic system, both adjacent to Nesjavellir and as far west as Kolvidarholl.
		The water is pumped through a main pipeline of 90 cm in diameter to a storage tank in the Hengill area at an elevation of 406 meters.
		Those tanks are at an elevation of 140 meters above sea level, and have control valves to regulate the flow of water through the pipeline and maintain a constant water level in the tank in the Hengill area.

		On my first day of hiking in the Hengill area, the name loosely applied to the stretch of uninhabited, rugged land between Hveragerdi and Thingvallavatn, Iceland's largest lake, I saw just a handful of people.
		The southern trails in this region are popular with locals trekking to or from Reykjadalir, a narrow valley marked by plumes of white steam and the sinister blup-blup-blup of boiling mud.
		Abandoning Mount Hengill, I backtracked to another trail that took me around one of the area's smaller peaks, Hromundartindur, two razor-sharp ridges decorated with plumes of smoke from numerous hot springs.

		On the left is a hyaloclastite ridge on the west side of the Hengill high temperature hydrothermal field.
		This spatter structure suggests that this ridge was emergent from the water at this level during eruption, either because of draining of the intra-glacial volcanic meltwater lake, or because of thin ice at the time of eruption.
		Higher mountains in the Hengill region are visible in the back.

	Global Volcanism Program \| Hengill \| Summary
		The Hengill volcanic system, cutting through Thingvallavatn lake, consists of a series of NE-SW-trending fissure vents, crater rows, and small shield volcanoes occupying a strongly faulted graben.
		Hengill is the easternmost of a series of four closely spaced basaltic fissure systems that cut diagonally across the Reykjanes Peninsula and lies at the triple junction of the Reykjanes Peninsula volcanic zone, the Western volcanic zone, and the South Iceland seismic zone.
		Postglacial lava flows surface much of the volcanic system.

	The valleys of Mt. Hengill.... - Meanwhile, back in Iceland.... - by Benedikt
		This mountain is a volcano close to Reykjavik, and is a prime area for hiking in the summers and cross-country skiing during winter.
		First we drove along the foothills of the mountain, past numerous hot springs with the accompanying sulphuric smell (I love the smell of sulphur in the morning ;-) and geothermal boreholes (the geothermal energy is being harvested and used to heat up cold water and create electricity).
		Then we headed over a small mountain ridge in order to get into the Valleys of Mt. Hengill (the jeep performed admirably on the loose gravel-road in the steep mountain slope!).
