Eyrarfoss

About

Eyrarfoss is a waterfall on the Laxá river in West Iceland.

It lies about 2 km below Eyrarvatn, the lake from which the Laxá flows, and the river continues on to reach the sea at Leirárvogar. The waterfall is not very tall, but beneath it is a large pool that draws salmon anglers.
