Þórsmörk – Volcano Huts

Þórsmörk, meaning 'Thor's Forest', is a sheltered highland paradise nestled between three glaciers — Tindfjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, and Mýrdalsjökull. Lush birch woodland covers the valley floor while glacier tongues and braided rivers frame the landscape. Volcano Huts campsite is one of the few accommodation options in this remote interior destination, accessible via river crossings by 4x4 or by highland bus. A premier base for the Fimmvörðuháls trail and the famous Laugavegur trek.
