Eyjafjallajökull & Þórsmörk

With you behind the wheel of the Arctic Truck we take the main road east through the mountains of Helliðsheidi plateau and drive along the south coast passing small Icelandic farms all the way to the foot of the world famous Eyjafjallajökull glacier. The first stop is at the popular sight Seljalandsfoss waterfall where the brave ones can take a walk behind the waterfall as it falls from the very high cliffs.

From the waterfall, we take a gravel road and drive between two glaciers on the rutted tracks and crossing a few unbridged glacier rivers before we arrive at Þórsmörk valley at the foot of Mýrdalsjökull glacier and Katla volcano. It is impossible to reach the wally on a regular vehicle, the guide teaches you how to cross the rivers on the super jeep and why we need to deflate the tires of the truck on the way.
In Þórsmörk valley we make stops at Gígjökull outlet glacier and Stakkholtsgjá canyon to explore its hidden waterfall.

Optional hiking tours in the valley or more driving on the rough tracks, all depending on your wishes!
