Þórsmörk (e. Thorsmork) Valley is an incredibly beautiful mountain ridge situated in the south of Iceland between the glaciers Tindfjallajökull and Eyjafjallajökull. This is the site of the first of two massive volcanic eruptions in 2010. The brand new (touchable) lava, large craters, and vast sweeping mountains make this hike truly unimaginable. With its vibrantly colored valleys and abundance of huge surrounding mountains, it is sure to deliver an unforgettable experience.
To reach this secluded highland valley the experienced driver/guide uses a modified 4x4 vehicle known as an Icelandic Super Jeep. On the way to Þórsmörk there is the chance to visit the mighty and picturesque waterfall, Seljalandsfoss. Next. you will pass the Gígjökull glacier lagoon where you will see the results of the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption. The final destination is the Básar cabin where the group will embark on our 6-8 hour hike up and back down the Fimmvörðuháls volcanoes.
The elevation gain is between 700-800 meters and approximately 16 km in total.
