Glymur: The Botnsa river runs from the second-deepest lake in Iceland, Hvalvatn (525 ft.), into the sea at Hvalfjordur. Botnsa river passes through a magnificent canyon, into which spills Iceland's highest waterfall, Glymur, which is around 650 ft. high and popular for wintertime ice climbing. People wonder about the derivation of the place names in this area and one delightful folktale, telling the story of Raudhofdi, explains the origins of some of them.
