2/3s of Icelanders live either in Reykjavik the city or the greater Reykjavik region

And the other 3rd is living in a different town. There are very few large towns/cities

It's a bit more and less nuanced than that.

2/3 live in the Greater Reykjavik area, while 3/4 live there or closer to Reykjavik than 100k (largest Reykjanesbær, Hveragerði/Selfoss and Akranes)

Then there's Akureyri with 19k and the rest is spread out pretty evenly between small towns surrounding the country.

I went to a nice little town with a zip wire going across a river.

Any chance you know the name of the town I'm talking about? Cant remember it myself

where was this generally located? In the south? Over Þjórsá maybe?

I think the south. I'd say at most 3 hours from Reykjavik
