Snæfell (Snaefell) is comprised of a main edifice with NE-SW-trending fissures extending out to 10-18 km, with the former shown in this August 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 21 km across). An ice cap across the summit reaches a few tens of meters thick. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).
