Keilir (Icelandic pronunciation:[ˈcʰeiːlɪr̥]; 378 m asl) is a Pleistocene subglacial mound or perhaps a conical tuya[3] on Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland.[4] Basal area is 0.773 km2, summit area 0.004 km2, basal width 0.99 km, summit width 0.07 km, volume 0.0362 km3.[3]
It is located within the area of Krýsuvík volcanic system[5] and Reykjanesfólkvangur. It is about 17 miles southwest of the capital city Reykjavík,
In March 2021 the mountain began to emit earthquakes followed by a fissure lava eruption further southwest at Fagradalsfjall.
