Eyvindarstaðaheiði

Eyvindarstaðaheiði is an expansive plateau and rangeland located between the Blanda river in Austur-Húnavatnssýsla and Vestari-Jökulsá in Skagafjörður, Iceland.

It is close to the Hofsjökull glacier at a lower elevation than the common grazing pastures in Skagafjörður and Húnavatnssýsla.

[1] Eyvindarstaðaheiði is the easternmost of the plains that encompass the plateau from the north of Langjökull glacier and Kjölur.

[1] The landscape on the western side of the plateau is shaped by the glaciers and is widely covered with thick moraine and sedimentary layers.

[3] There are heavily trafficked roads around Eyvindarstaðaheiði leading through Skagafjörður, Svartðadalur, and Blöndudalur, both south to Route F35 and west of Stórisandur.
