    Hiking

    The Skjálfandafljót is the fourth longest river in Iceland, approximately 178 km long. The river originates at the northwestern border of the Vatnajökull ice cap on the highlands of Iceland. From there it flows north parallel to the Sprengisandur Highland road, eventually flowing into Skjálfandi Bay after the Goðafoss.
