The Kjarrá–Thervá River, located about 115 kilometers from Reykjavík in western Iceland, is a 64-kilometer glacial river known for its salmon fishing.
The upper river, closer to the glacier, is Kjarrá; the in-between is Örnólfsdalsá; the lower river, closer to the sea and "below the fence above Örnólfsdal," is Thervá (Icelandic: Þverá).[1][2]
Kjarrá is a tributary of the glacial river Hvítá (Icelandic: Tvídægra), and has tributaries of its own: Litla-Thvera, Krókavatnsá, and Lambá.[1][2] The river is part of the Borgarfjörður ecosystem.[2]
Kjarrá and Thervá each have their own fishing lodge, "limited to seven rods each."[3]
