Rauðfeldsgjá
The gorge derives its name from a tragedy that happened a long time ago. Rauðfeldur and Helga were cousins. They were playing on the beach one day when Helga must have climbed onto an iceberg. Rauðfeldur then pushed the iceberg so hard that it drifted away from the beach and brought Helga to Greenland. Helga’s father, Bárður Snæfellsás was part human and part giant. He was so angry with Rauðfeldur because he thought Helga had perished, so he picked up Rauðfeldur under his arm and threw him into the gorge.
