About Þórsmörk

A stunning mountain ridge nature reserve surrounded by three glaciers (Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and Tindfjallajökull). Named after the Norse god Thor, this lush valley features extensive birch forests, dramatic canyons, and unique volcanic landscapes. It serves as the endpoint of the famous Laugavegur hiking trail and offers some of Iceland's most spectacular highland scenery.
