Eldgjá es un volcán y un cañón en Islandia. Eldgjá y el volcán Katla pertenecen al mismo sistema volcánico del sur del país.[1] Eldgjá significa "cañón de fuego" en islandés.
Se encuentra entre Landmannalaugar y Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Es el mayor cañón volcánico en la Tierra con 270 m de profundidad y 600 m de ancho en su zona más profunda. Lo descubrió Þorvaldur Thoroddsen en 1893. La primera erupción documentada ocurrió en 934, cuando se registró un enorme trap. La extensión de lava cubre 800 km2.[2] Cerca de 18 km3 de magma surgieron de la tierra.[3]
