Destination of the day is Þórsmörk – the “Woods of Thor the Thundergod”. Guarding Þórsmörk nature reserve from unwanted traffic are several streams and glacial rivers cutting the rough track. Crossing requires caution but is a breeze in a Superjeep.

We will visit the powerfully beautiful Seljalandsfoss waterfall, a good 60-meters of constant rush! Conditions permitting, how about a walk around it - yes, you can go behind Seljalandsfoss. Soon after the road starts disintegrating and nature takes over your senses.

Bordering  Þórsmörk  nature  reserve  to the  south  is  the  famously ash-spewing volcano Eyjafjallajökull, topped by glacial ice and snow. Amongst numerous places of interest on our route is the Gígjökull glacier lagoon which is  actually off  the maps now. In 2010 it disappeared under volcanic rubble in a catastrophic flood of glacial melt and debris, caused by the Eyjafjallajökull eruption. Where we go in the  Þórsmörk Nature Reserve varies from day-to-day depending on weather and other conditions, but canyons, woodlands and caves are ideal settings for short walks.
