Helgafell is an inactive 227-metre-highvolcanic cone located on the island of Heimaey in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago in [].

The Stórhöfði peninsula immediately to the south of Helgafell in what is now southern Heimaey formed about 6000 years ago, with Helgafell forming from a secondary eruption a thousand years later. Immediately north of Helgafell is the active volcano Eldfell, which last erupted January 23, 1973.

Helgafell is a dormant cone volcano. Since Eldfell, (which is a slightly shorter volcano) erupted in 1973, it's very likely that Helgafell will erupt again too.
