Herðubreið (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈhɛrðʏˌpreiːθ], broad-shouldered) is a tuya in northern part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. It is situated in the Highlands of Iceland at the east side of the Ódáðahraun [ˈouːˌtauːðaˌr̥œiːn] desert and close to Askja volcano. The desert is a large lava field originating from eruptions of Trölladyngja and other shield volcanoes in the area. Herðubreið was formed beneath the icesheet that covered Iceland during the last glacial period.[1]

Overview

Due to the mountain's steep and unstable sides, the first ascent was in 1908 despite centuries of knowledge of its existence.^{[citation needed]}

The Mountain is often referred to as "The Queen of Icelandic Mountains" by Icelanders due to its beautiful shape.[2]

Near the mountain lies an oasis called Herðubreiðarlindir [ˈhɛrðʏˌpreiːðarˌlɪntɪr̥] with a campground and hiking trails. In former times, outcasts who had been excluded from Icelandic society because of crimes they had committed lived at the oasis.^{[citation needed]} One such outlaw was Fjalla-Eyvindur, who lived there during the winter of 1774–1775.[3]

In 2019 Herðubreið became a part of Vatnajökull National Park.[4]
