About

Reykjafoss is a 20-meter waterfall on the Svartá river in North Iceland.

It lies south of the Ring Road near Varmahlíð and can be reached from there via the Skagafjarðarvegur. Here the river Svartá plunges about 20 metres in two or more stages. Downstream the river becomes the Húseyjarkvísl and empties into the Héraðsvötn.
