Mount Súlur is located in the north of Iceland . Its two peaks loom over Akureyri in the southwest . It is part of the extinct central volcano Kerling , which is adjacent to it, and is 1213 m high. The lower of the twin peaks reaches 1144 m .
The mountain rests on a basalt base about 500 meters thick. However, the summit is made of glowing rhyolite .
The mountain range that connects the Kerling with the Súlur has several other lower peaks, such as Litli- and Stóri-Krummi ( Eng . The Little and the Big Raven ). Some glacier remains can still be found in the Kvarnárdalur , a high valley below the Kerling.
Below the mountain are huts belonging to the Icelandic Trekking Association. The mountain is not difficult to climb. Paths lead up from Akureyri.
