Lagarfljót River

The Lagarfljót river is a 140 km long glacial river. The river forms a large lake next to the town of Egilsstaðir. The 112-meter lake is home of a local legend of a Wyrm that is said to reside in the deeps of the lake. This serpent is a source of many mythical stories and accounts dating back to the 13th century.
