    Jökulsá á Fjöllum, which means “glacier river in the mountains”, is the second longest river in Iceland with a length of approximately 206 km. The river's source is the Vatnajökull Glacier and it flows into the Greenland Sea. The river flows over the Selfoss, Dettifoss, Hafragilsfoss and Réttarfoss waterfalls, the second of which is the most powerful waterfall in Europe. The Jökulsá á Fjöllum basin is the largest in Iceland, covering an area of approximately 7,380 square kilometers.
