Berufjarðará (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈpɛːrʏˌfjarðarˌauː]) is a river in the East Fjords region of Iceland.
It rises in the highlands near the Öxi [ˈœksɪ] pass, and flows for about 10 km in a south-easterly direction to the bay Fossarvík [ˈfɔsːarˌviːk] (about 20 km NW of Djúpivogur) where it flows into the Berufjörður, [1] the fjord from which its name ("river of Berufjörður") is derived. Its source is west of the farm of Staðareyri [ˈstaːðarˌeiːrɪ] (latitude: 64.7892° or 64°47'21" north; longitude: -14.5055° or 14°30'20" west). [2]
The river has a number of small waterfalls near its mouth, which explains the name of Fossarvík ("bay of waterfalls"). [3]
Route 939 follows the river for much of its course.
