Hágöngulón
Hágöngulón is a lake in the Highlands of Iceland. It is 37 square kilometres (14 sq mi) in area and it is situated nearly 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of the Sprengisandur road, one of the highland tracks which cross Iceland from the south to the north, and a similar distance west of the largest glacier Vatnajökull. Immediately to the south is the lava field Hágönguhraun. It is fed by various streams consisting of meltwater from Vatnajökull and is drained by Kaldakvísl, a tributary of the Þjórsá, both of which flow in a southwest direction towards the southwest coast.
