The Skaftá is a volcanic river in southern Iceland. It rises in the north-west of Vatnajökull, flows south in a wide arc and finally flows into the North Atlantic at Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Regular jökulhaups (glacial runs) from the Skaftárkatlar flood the river bed annually. The splitting of the river is due to the eruption of the Laki Craters (Lakagígar) in 1783
