69 on this map, out of 384 nature & landscapes in Iceland. That is what Wikidata records with coordinates, a photograph and a Wikipedia article, so it is a floor rather than a census.

Hekla. Stratovolcano in southern Iceland.
Which volcanoes in Iceland are the least visited?
24 of the 69 rank as little known — a Wikipedia article in only a handful of languages. They sit at the bottom of the ranked list below.
Where does this information come from?
Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
