Beautiful Monster
This is Hekla, an active stratovolcano in the south of #Iceland, which has produced one of the largest volumes of lava of any in the world in the last millennium, around 8 km³ (1.9 cu mi).
A belief that this was the gate to Hell persisted until the 19th century, and there's still a legend that witches gather on Hekla during Easter.
Hekla means a short hooded cloak, due to the frequent cloud cover.
