The Jökulsá í Lóni is a glacial river in southeast Iceland .

The river has its source in Vesturdalsjökull on the eastern edge of Vatnajökull . It is 46 kilometers long and flows into the Lónsfjörður . About nine kilometers before the mouth, the ring road with the only road bridge leads over the Jökulsá í Lóni.

Behind the end of the Kollumúlavegur LF980near Illakambur, a 70 year old pedestrian suspension bridge led across the river to the Múlaskáli hut. It collapsed in a storm in January 2019 and was then replaced by a new one in July.
