About
Skorhagafoss is a waterfall on the Brynjudalsá river in West Iceland.
It lies on the south coast of Hvalfjörður, on the river Brynjudalsá, which flows out of Lake Sandvatn. The waterfall is 4 metres high. The Hvalfjarðarvegur road crosses the river barely 500 m west of Skorhagafoss, and the waterfall is easy to overlook. Only 8 km away (as the crow flies), the Glymur plunges 196 m deep.
