Thorsmork - Thor´s Forest

Private day tour, 8-10 hours, all year.


Travel via 4x4 vehicle to the wilderness area known as Thorsmork or Thor's Forest on the north side of Eyjafjallajokull volcano. It is here that the effects of the volcanic eruption of 2010 are most clearly visible: hills covered with ash, flood debris scattered across the valley floor, steam rising from tunnels in Gigjokull glacier.

Take a short hike across otherworldly landscape leading to the site where floodwaters gushed out from under the glacier during the eruption of April and May, 2010. Later in the day, and depending on conditions, we'll either hike up to one of many viewpoints in the area or explore one of the countless gullies and ravines that dissect the north face of the volcano.

Depart Reykjavik at 8:30 AM and return by evening.
