The Æðarfossar are waterfalls in the north-west of Iceland .

The Laxá í Aðaldal forms the lake Mýrarvatn north of the Norðausturvegur and then falls 3 meters deep over the Æðarfossar in several watercourses. The Laxá, the outflow from the Mývatn , has covered 56 km to this point and flows another 2 km into the Skjálfandi bay .

Translated from Icelandic , these are the eider waterfalls. Nearby is the Laxamyri farm, known for its Eiderdauen. The poet Jóhann Sigurjónsson was born here.
