Hengill (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈheiɲcɪtl̥] ⓘ) is a volcanic table mountain situated in the south-west of Iceland, to the south of Þingvellir.
The volcano is still active, as evidenced by its numerous hot springs and fumaroles, but the last eruption occurred approximately 2,000 years ago, before the settlement of Iceland.
