Saudardalur Dam is one of three dams forming Halslon north of Vatnajokull. It lies west of Karahnjukar Dam and closes a valley through which water would otherwise escape from the reservoir.

The dam reaches a maximum height of 29 metres and is approximately 1,100 metres long. About 1.6 million cubic metres of fill material were used in its construction. Together with Karahnjukar Dam and Desjara Dam, it forms Halslon, the principal storage reservoir for Fljotsdalur Power Station.
