Description
Hraunfossar Borgarfjörður, western Iceland is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 metres out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull. The waterfalls pour into the HvààÃâàÃâÃâÃÂtá river from ledges of less porous rock in the lava. The name comes from the Icelandic word for lava hraun and the word for waterfalls fossar. The Hraunfossar are situated near Húsafell and Reykholt and the VààÃâàÃâÃâÃÂðgelmir lava tube is close by.
