Úlfarsfell
Úlfarsfell () is a mountain in the municipality of Mosfellsbær in the Reykjavík, Reykjavík metropolitan area. It is 296 meters high. The mountain slopes have been subject to extensive forestry. Úlfarsfell is mentioned in the written work Hítardalsbók from 1367 and in the land registry from 1704 by Árni Magnússon and Páll Vídalín. The name of the mountain, and the nearby river Úlfarsá, likely comes from a settler named ''Úlfar,'' which was born by at least four settlers according to Landnámabók, Landnáma, the book of settlers. The mountain currently hosts television and radio transmitters for the Reykjavik area, after transmissions were moved from the former Vatnsendi site. References

Mosfellsbær
Mosfellsbær (, colloquially Mosó) is a town in south-west Iceland, east of the country's capital, Reykjavík. The coat of arms of the municipality is a tightly-knotted triquetra, a symbol often used in Celtic knotwork and strongly associated with the Celtic nations (which featured prominently in Celtic spirituality as well as Ancient Celtic religion in the past and, to some extent, to this day). The coat of arms might denote the Gaelic heritage of Mosfellsbær as Icelanders are also descended from Gaelic-speaking settlers who voyaged or were brought by the Norsemen in Iceland during the country's settlement in the Viking Age.
