Systrafoss (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsɪstraˌfɔsː] <phonos file="Systrafoss pronunciation.ogg"></phonos>, "sisters' waterfall") is a waterfall in Iceland, found at Kirkjubæjarklaustur in Skaftárhreppur in the Suðurland region.
Geography
[edit | edit source]The waterfall is part of the river Fossá, which runs south from its source Systravatn.[1] To the south of Systrafoss runs the glacial river Skaftá.
Name
[edit | edit source]Both the waterfall and Systravatn take their name from the sisters of the nearby Kirkjubæjar Abbey.[1]
