Description
Discover Thorsmork Valley on this super jeep tour from Hvolsvollur Village. The valley is surrounded by glaciers, rough terrain, unbridged rivers, and wilderness, and the tour suits anyone who wants to see it in comfort.
Thorsmork means "Thor's Forest," after the Norse god of thunder. The area lies in South Iceland between three glaciers: Myrdalsjokull Glacier, Tindfjallajokull Glacier, and Eyjafjallajokull Glacier, whose volcano erupted in 2010.
From Hvolsvollur Village, you travel in a specially modified super jeep that can handle rough terrain and cross unbridged rivers.
On the way into the valley, you make several stops, including one at Gigjokull Glacier, an outlet glacier where powerful glacial floods escaped during the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull Volcano. Your local guide takes you through the scenes of the April 2010 eruption.
In Thorsmork Valley, you take in its colors and panoramic views, with several stops in the wilderness. There are also many chances for short hikes, for example up Valahnukur Mountain.
