It is fed by the Holts\u00e1 river and separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a narrow strip of sand. It is approximately 4 kilometres (2.5\u00a0mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2\u00a0mi) wide and approximately 2 metres (6.6\u00a0ft) deep at its deepest point.Ecology[edit]The lagoon has a sedimented bottom and no appreciable salt gradient. Species found there include Gammarus zaddachi and Gammarus duebeni.[3]Eurasian oystercatchers frequent it.[4] Above Holts\u00f3s is a deep freshwater pool called Hellisvatn after the cave that overlooks it, Steinahellir, which was the location of the district assembly for Eyjafj\u00f6ll from 1818 to 1905.[5] Hellisvatn does not freeze and therefore attracts many birds in winter when other sources of water are frozen over.Like other shallow lagoons, Holts\u00f3s is prone to overflow its banks when the river feeding it runs high, and it is often necessary to keep the opening to the ocean open against sedimentation to prevent flooding of the adjacent land.[6]History and literature[edit]Mediaeval names for the lagoon were Holt\u00e1r\u00f3s, Holtavatn or Holtavatns\u00f3s.[7][8][9] In the 12th century, ships sometimes used it as a harbour.[10] Its frequent flooding is mentioned in one of the Old Norse accounts of Bishop \u00deorl\u00e1k, Jarteinab\u00f3k \u00deorl\u00e1ks saga byskups \u00f6nnur.[11][12] The farm called Holt, immediately to the west, was an important centre in the Middle Ages, and Holts\u00f3s is probably also identical with the Arnarb\u00e6lis\u00f3ss of Nj\u00e1ls saga.[9][13]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Holts\u00f3s also occurs in one of the Icelandic folktales recorded by J\u00f3n \u00c1rnason. A fisherman has a dream foretelling that he will undergo a test at sea off Holts\u00f3s. He lays his boat up and believes he has avoided the danger when it is destroyed on land by a storm, but then crewing for another man, he is the only casualty when another storm blows up and the ship is wrecked off Holts\u00f3s.[14][15]References[edit]^ Arctic Pilot Volume 2, Iceland, Jan Mayen, Bjornoya, Svalbard, and the east coast of Greenland together with the adjacent seas, NP 11, Taunton: United Kingdom, Hydrographer of the Navy, 1996, ISBN\u00a09780707710112, p. 76.^ Sailing Directions (enroute) for Greenland and Iceland, Publication 181, 7th ed., Bethesda, Maryland: United States, National Imagery and Mapping Agency, 2002, ISBN\u00a09780160674648, p. 183.^ Kustbiotoper i Norden: hotade och representativa biotoper, TemaNord 2001:536, Copenhagen: Nordic Council of Ministers, 2001, ISBN\u00a09789289306263, p. 302 (in Swedish)^ Fuglar, Eyjafj\u00f6ll.is (in Icelandic), retrieved 29 April 2013.^ Steinahellir cave, Eyjafj\u00f6ll.is, retrieved 29 April 2013.^ Neues Jahrbuch f\u00fcr Geologie und Pal\u00e4ontologie: Monatshefte (1961) 468 (in German)^ Torfhildur \u00deorsteinsd\u00f3ttir H\u00f3lm, Elding: s\u00f6guleg sk\u00e1ldsaga fr\u00e1 10. \u00f6ld, Reykjav\u00edk: Sigf\u00fass Eymundsson, 1889, OCLC\u00a04538717, p. 678 (in Icelandic)^ Brennu-Nj\u00e1ls Saga, ed.
