About
Eyrarfoss is a waterfall on the Laxá river in West Iceland.
Eyrarfoss is a waterfall on the river Laxá in Leirársveit, in western 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.
