Þórsmörk holds a special place in the hearts of all Icelanders. It’s truly unique…
Þórsmörk stands as a stunning nature reserve, centrally located in Southern Iceland, nestled amidst the glaciers of Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and Tindfjallajökull.
During our hiking trip, we’ll marvel at the breathtaking vista encompassing Þórsmörk, the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, and the highlands. We’ll also venture up to the Gígjökull glacier, noting the impacts of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption while inhaling the refreshing glacial air.
Þórsmörk, with its distinct ambiance, is an extraordinary location to explore. It’s the epitome of Icelandic nature.
