About Kolka
Kolka or Kolbeinsdalsá is a river that originates in the Tungnahryggsjökull glacier and is therefore often glacier-colored. Near its source, the river splits into two branches, with the eastern called Kolka and the western Tungnahryggsá. They are sometimes called Austurá and Vesturá, respectively. The Kolka flows lengthwise along Kolbeinsdalur valley in Skagafjörður, Iceland and continues north along Óslandshlíð until it reaches the sea in Kolkuós. After the rivers run parallel for a good distance, the Hjaltadalsá river and Kolka merge together a little further down at the farm Þúfur in Óslandshlíð, and the river is called Kolka from there on. Both rivers flow rapidly in parts and it very difficult to build bridges over them. The rivers are suitable for white-water rafting when the water is high.
