Thorsmork Valley by Superjeep

Introduction

Thorsmork is a unique area between the three glaciers; Myrdalsjokull, Eyjafjallajokull and Tindfjallajokull. To get there you will be driven by experienced and knowledgeable guides on 4×4 tracks, over un-bridged glacial rivers and through seemingly impassable obstructions; you will get a real insight into the magnificent power of the mighty superjeep.

Accessible only from the south by crossing the river Krossa, taking a superjeep tour enables you to explore Thorsmork in both safety and comfort.

On the way you will see the great effect that the 2010 eruption in Eyjafjallajokull had on the landscape. Gigjokull´s glacial lagoon was filled with volcanic material during the enormous eruption and millions of litres of melted ice from Eyjafjallajokull came bursting down the mountainside causing massive floods and changing the landscape.

The nature reserve of Thorsmork is rich with geological wonders and is a hiker’s paradise, with marked trails for everybody to enjoy.

“The expansive scenery of Thorsmork is best seen from up high, so in order to stretch our legs we climbed the Thorsmork Panorama Trail. It was a thoroughly rewarding feeling to reach the peak of the mountain and the impressive 360° views were a real highlight of this day tour. The trail is well marked and accessible with manmade steps on its steepest parts.” – Nordic Travel Specialist
