Waterfall in South of Iceland
Systrafoss (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsɪstraˌfɔsː] ⓘ, "sisters' waterfall") is a waterfall in Iceland, found at Kirkjubæjarklaustur in Skaftárhreppur in the Suðurland region.
Geography
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.
