About Þórsmörk
Þórsmörk is a sheltered, lush valley cradled between three glaciers in the Highlands — the end point of the famous Laugavegur hiking trail and the start of the Fimmvörðuháls glacier pass route.
Background
History & Background
The valley is named after the Norse god Thor — 'Thor's Forest'. Despite the surrounding glaciers, Þórsmörk has a mild microclimate that allows birch woodland and wildflowers to thrive. The valley sits directly below Eyjafjallajökull — the volcano whose 2010 eruption disrupted air travel across Europe for weeks. Reaching Þórsmörk requires crossing several glacial rivers that can only be forded by modified 4x4 vehicles or on foot.
