Glymur was long regarded as the tallest until being surpassed by Morsárfoss, a newly measured waterfall near Morsárjökull in 2011.

[citation needed] The river Botnsá [ˈpɔsːˌauː] runs from the Hvalvatn lake and after a short distance the water falls down alongside the Hvalfell mountain into a steep canyon.

Hikers can view the waterfall from marked paths on the east side of the river Botnsá.

It is an illustration of the Icelandic legend of Redhead (Rauðhöfði [ˈrœyðˌhœvðɪ]) which is said to be the cause of the formation of Glymur.
