Template:More citations needed Template:Infobox body of water The lake Sigöldulón ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is a reservoir in Iceland, also known as Krókslón {{#invoke:IPA|main}}. Situated in the south of the country, not far from Landmannalaugar, it is one of the country's 20 largest lakes at 14 km2.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Both the lake and the nearby power station (Sigölduvirkjun {{#invoke:IPA|main}}) take their names from a tuff ridge at about 600 m above sea level where the river Tungnaá once passed through a canyon. Its waters now flow in tubes into the power station, constructed between 1973 and 1977.
