thumb|280px|right|Skógar museum Skógar (pronounced ), literally the woods, is a small Icelandic village with a population of roughly 25 located at the south of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, in the municipality of Rangárþing eystra.
The area is known for its waterfall, Skógafoss, on the Skógá river, which springs from 60 metres at the top of an eroded cliff. At Skógar is a folk museum (Skógasafn ), as well as a museum on transport in Iceland.
