The largest boulder is called Blóðsteinninn (The Bloodstone). The Bloodstone is a single boulder next to the parking lot at Hafrafell by the Svínafellsjökull glacier. The boulder is good quality basalt while most of the other boulders in the area are poor quality tuff. However, be careful on the easy problems facing away from the car park, as tourists checking out the glacier have been known to use the shelter from the boulder to relieve themselves there.
Hafrafell is part of the Öræfi page on klifur.is (https://www.klifur.is/crag/oraefi), which contains pictures of Blóðsteinninn.
It is also possible to park at the Svínafellsjökull car park (64.00006, -16.89379), and follow a flat path north for 500m, before joining the Svinafellajokulsvegur road for another 1km. Various boulders are along the flat path north from this car park, although they are all very low quality tuff.
