This area was used by the Brigade, and other forces in Iceland, as an artillery range, on the basis that, given it is a totally lave area, shells could do little or no damage.
To read the Wikipedia article please click here.
During our visit in 2010 our guide took us on to the area and we were able to take a few photographs. There are also historic artillery images which were probably taken there, but that cannot yet be verified.
