Bifröst is a small settlement in western Iceland, in the Mýrasýsla county.
It is located in the Northwest Political constituency and is the site of Bifröst University, a small private campus university.[3] In the town of Bifröst there is a convenience store called Samkaup strax, a coffee house, a kindergarten and a gym among other things. [4]
Bifröst is surrounded by a 3,000-year-old lava field, Grábrókarhraun, which has been overgrown with moss and heather. Just behind the university campus there is an old volcano called Grábrók and another mountain called Grábrókarfell. [5]
