Verne’s volcano

In Jules Verne’s *Journey to the Center of the Earth*, the characters descend into the planet through Snæfellsjökull, a glacier-capped volcano at the western end of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. On clear days, its snowy summit really can be seen from Reykjavík across Faxaflói Bay. The source item mixed up the volcano’s name with the peninsula’s; visibility depends on weather and viewpoint.
