Description

Discover the stunning Þórsmörk Valley on a 4x4 adventure tour from Reykjavik. Travel in a classic Land Rover Defender and see the best hidden and hard-to-reach places in the valley. Enjoy a river crossing, 4x4 trail driving, and beautiful hiking trails. Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation or meet you at the Volcano Trails HQ. Hop into a classic Land Rover Defender, specially equipped for overland expeditions, and set off on your adventure. Þórsmörk valley was named after the Norse god Thor. It‘s situated in the south of Iceland, between the glaciers Tindafjallajokull, Myrdalsjokull, and Eyjafjallajokull, the peak that notoriously erupted in 2010 and caused widespread disruption to air traffic in Europe. Þórsmörk is one of the most popular hiking areas in Iceland. It has been protected since 1921, in the care of the Forestry Service. Weather in Þórsmörk is often warmer than nearby, since it is protected by the three glaciers surrounding it. In the protected valley there is green vegetation of moss, fern, and birch wood. In spite of being warmer, Þórsmörk is also wetter than the rest of the country. This, however, only brightens the vegetation, giving the area a lush, emerald hue.
