Hraunfossar literally translates as "lava waterfalls". In this case, the lava refers to Hallmundarhraun, an ancient lava field that formed from an eruption of a volcano now under the Langjökull glacier. Rain falling on the lava field penetrates the porous rock then flows horizontally, through the rock, until it hits the channel carved by the Hvítá river. Here, the water flows right out of the rock forming the falls which run for about a kilometer along the river.
