The Skorhagafoss is a waterfall in the capital area of Iceland .

This waterfall is located on the south coast of Hvalfjörður . The Hvalfjarðarvegur S47 crosses the river barely 500 m west of Skorhagafoss and this is easy to miss. The Brynjudalsá River flows out of the Sandvatn Lake and falls only 4 m.

Only 8 km (as the crow flies) away, the Glymur falls 196 m deep. It was Iceland's highest waterfall until Morsárfosses was discovered , but can only be reached by hike.
