Arnarvatnsheiši is a plateau in the west of Iceland. It belongs to the Highlands of Iceland.
It is situated to the north-east of the valley Reykholsdalur and to the north of Hśsafell.
The region is very well known for the multitude of lakes where it is possible to go fishing in the summer. On the other hand, climate is rather rough like in the rest of the Highlands of Iceland.
To the east of Arnarvatnsheiši, there are the lava caves Surtshellir. In former times, outlaws used to live there. It was then common in Iceland to exclude people from society when they had committed crimes.
