The Tungnaá (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈtʰuŋnaˌauː, ˈtʰunːa-]) is a river in the southern Highlands of Iceland. It flows from the western edge of Vatnajökull to the reservoir Sultartangalón, where it joins the Þjórsá.[1] The river has been used extensively for hydroelectricity, with power stations at Vatnsfell,[2] Sigalda,[3] Hrauneyjafoss,[4] and Sultartangi.[5]
