text:
Skeiðarársandur is an Icelandic glacial outwash plain, a vast expanse of sand generated by the transport of debris by the Skeiðará and other rivers, whose flow is generated by the Skeiðarárjökull glacier and fed by the volcanic systems of Grímsvötn and Öræfajökull. The coastline of the Sandur is 56 km long. From Skeiðarárjökull—the valley glacier of Vatnajökull—to the sea is 20 to 30 km. The Skeiðará was the most important obstacle in the construction of Iceland's Route 1. It was not until 1974
