The Best Sight in Sprengisandur Route, The Highlands

As the largest lake in Iceland, Þórisvatn has a surface area of around 88 square km (about 33 square miles). Serving as a reservoir, the lake increased in size when water was diverted from the Kaldakvísl River for a hydroelectric plant. The scenic lake lies to the east of Route F26 around 18 km (11 miles) northeast of Hrauneyjar Highland Center.
