The Bláfeldarhraun lava flow front is seen to the left of the farmhouses. It originated from the cone to the upper left and descended the slope in the center of this view from the south. The flow is one of several Holocene lava flows of the Helgrindur (Lýsuskarð) volcanic system on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
