Valley
Domadalur is located just east of Kringla (Cave Landmannahellir) on
Route Domadalsleid (Landmannaleid).
It contains a small lake without discharge, which shrinks
considerably during summer. During
spring and early summer the valley floor is mostly under water, but
after the water has receded it is mostly green with vegetation.
The name of the valley is probably derived from a judicial
assembly in connection with a
paternity case
between
families of County
Landsveit and Skaftarhreppur in the past. Just east of the valley is an obsidian lava field,
Domadalshraun, on the route towards Lake Frostastadavatn and
Landmannalaugar. |
