Lómagnúpur 764 m (2,507 ft)) is a subglacial mound in southern Iceland. It is a long, north–south oriented ridge at its highest peak 764m above sea level, while the foremost cliffs reach a (almost vertical) height of 671m and are thus the highest in Iceland. Most of Lómagnúpur is made of palagonite, but there are also layers of lava (e.g. pillow lava and lava columns) and sediments. It was built up within a million years. The lowest layers are about 2.5 million years old, the highest ones about 1.5 million. In addition, the mountain was in interglacial times and directly on the coast immediately after the last ice age 10,000 years ago, so that the sea also left its mark on it.

Has 1 different launch points. The best wind direction is 160.8 @ 10 knts but many sites can be flown from multiple directions, so check before you fly.
