Thórsmork is one of Iceland’s most dramatic landscapes, a valley flanked by three glaciers: Tindfjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, and Mýrdalsjökull. Getting there is half the adventure. Your super jeep crosses gushing rivers and navigates craggy riverbeds, passing Seljalandsfoss waterfall where glacial meltwater tumbles 60 metres down the mountainside. Once in the valley, explore on foot through meandering gorges and hiking trails, or keep driving deeper into the highland wilderness. Either way, the Valley of Thór delivers.
