Nikulásargjá is one of the main attractions at Thingvellir National Park. The name is derived from when the District Commissioner Nikulás Magnússon drowned in Flosagjá during a summer night in 1742. Ever since then, the eastern branch has been known as Nikulásargjá. The water is up to 25 metres deep, 3-4° Celcius and very clear.
