Ride a specially equipped super jeep into Thorsmork’s glacial valleys, then choose between relaxed valley viewing or an optional hike to ridge viewpoints. Expect river crossings, volcanic terrain, and lunch at Volcano Huts.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the super jeep into a valley shaped by ice and fire: wind whips through birch and willow, a braided glacial river hurries like a living thing, and distant ridgelines wear fresh moraine like armor.

Historically used as seasonal sheep pasture, Thorsmork’s name and routes date to Norse settlement; its modern hiking popularity grew after 20th-century trail development.
Conservation
Vegetation is fragile—avoid stepping on moss and newly stabilized soils; stick to marked trails and pack out all waste to protect recovering post-volcanic landscapes.

Layer for sudden weather shifts
