Leitin Að Dýragarðinum
Leitin () is a small shield volcano in the southwest of Iceland. Name Leitin ("the hills") is sometimes also called Leiti ("hills") or Leitahraun after its eruption products (“the lava of Leiti”). Geography The lava shield is located on the big Reykjanes peninsula some 25 km south of Reykjavík. When travelling on the hringvegur and looking to the west, the volcano is to be seen in a broad valley between the palagonite ridges of ''Lambafell'' with its quarries and ''Sauðadalahnúkar'' and behind some small cones, the ''Nyrðri'' and ''Syðri Eldborg'' , eruptive vents of the Brennisteinsfjöll volcanic system.
