a magical place to visit.
Þórsmörk is a beautiful nature reserve situated between three

We start by
driving in modified super trucks along the south shore, heading
for one of the places that Icelanders appreciate most, Þórsmörk
(The Woods of Thor).
It is situated in the south of Iceland between the glaciers
Tindfjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. Its
location lends to its particularly warm climate, which is better
than in the rest of south Iceland. Among en route stops are
Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall that you can actually walk behind,
and the glacial lagoon of Eyjafjallajökull. We will also cross a
number of small gullies and some rough glacial rivers on our way
into the valley.
Glaciers and mountains surround Þórsmörk on three sides, which
create favorable circumstances for growth for the over 170 plant
species you can find in the area.
