Discover the Southern Highlands on an adventurous Private Jeep tour in The Valley of Thor at Þórsmörk.
The Valley of Thor, or Þórsmörk (Thorsmork) in Icelandic, is a nature reserve in the southern highlands, located between three glaciers; Eyjafjallajökull (the famous glacier volcano that erupted in 2010 and caused widespread disruption to air traffic in Europe), Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull. Þórsmörk is a paradise for hikers, photographers and nature lovers with its ice-capped peaks, jagged mountain ridges and valleys rich with moss and birch woodland.
The route to Þórsmörk has many unbridged river-crossings with deep fast-flowing waters, famous for trapping tourists in un-modified rental cars. But you have nothing to fear as you will be safely seated in a modified Super Jeep that can take you to places that will leave you speechless. Have your camera ready to capture all the beauty that Iceland has to offer.
Starting with the Seljalandsfoss waterfall that you can walk behind, you will continue on Gígjökull which is an outlet that flows from Eyjafjallajökull. The day will end with a hike around Básar, an oasis of natural birch woods and Valahnúkur with a relatively easy 220m (722ft) ascent hike.
