Austari-Jökulsá

Austari-Jökulsá (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈœysta(ː)rɪ-ˈjœːkʏlsˌauː], "easterly glacier river") is a glacial river in the north of Iceland.

Some glacial outlet streams of the big ice cap Hofsjökull confluence up in the highland to form the glacial river Austari-Jökulsá.

The river discharge is rather important with 60-100 m3/sec in the summer and 20-30 m3/sec in wintertime.

[2] Because of this, the river which has no waterfalls had a bad reputation and was/is very difficult to ford.

[2] Today, the river with its fierce currents is popular for rafting tours.
