Þórsmörk & the South Coast With a View of the Volcano

We start by driving in our modified super jeeps along the south shore, heading for one of the places that Icelanders appreciate most, Þórsmörk (The Woods of Thor). It is a valley, in the south of Iceland, surrounded by three glaciers and mountains, creating favorable circumstances for the native vegetation of birch trees and a variety of plants. From Þórsmörk it is possible to view the volcano that recently erupted in Eyjafjallajökull glacier.

Before entering the valley we make short stops at Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall you can walk behind and by a glacier tongue descending into a glacial lagoon. Several glacial rivers have to be crossed on the way to Þórsmörk, demonstrating the capabilities of the Super Jeep. Many walking paths are marked in Þórsmörk, making it an ideal place for short hikes with views of glaciers, woodlands and other colorful landscape.
