To me this mountain kind of lookt like a big hat..

"Kirkjufell is a 463-metre-high (1,500 ft) mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður. It is said to be the most photographed mountain in the country. Kirkjufell was one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones, seasons 6 and 7.

Kirkjufell contains volcanic rock, but is not a volcano. It is a former nunatak, a mountain that rose above the glaciers during the Ice Age and was therefore part of what was once the sedimentary stratification of the area. These strata are composed of alternating layers of lava and sandstone, with tuff on top.

In addition to being a mountain, Kirkjufell also has two waterfalls."
