Superjeep Þórsmörk

Þórsmörk, also known as "Thor's Valley," is a stunning valley in  southern Iceland, located between the glaciers of Eyjafjallajökull and  Tindfjallajökull. The landscape is otherworldly, with verdant valleys,  moss-covered lava fields, and towering mountains. The valley is filled  with birch forests, dotted with wildflowers, and crossed by clear streams.

One of the most striking features of Þórsmörk is the  diverse range of landscapes that can be found within its borders.  Visitors can hike through lush valleys, cross rugged mountain passes,  and explore rocky canyons. The area is also home to numerous waterfalls,  including the spectacular Stakkholtsgjá canyon.

Stakkholtsgjá canyon has been a popular filming location for several  TV shows and films due to its stunning natural beauty and unique  landscape.  Game of Thrones: This iconic canyon was used as the backdrop  for the "North of the Wall" scenes in the HBO series Game of Thrones.  Specifically, it appeared in the scene where Jon Snow and the wildlings  pass through the canyon on their way to capture a wight. Noah: The  biblical epic film "Noah" directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring  Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, and Emma Watson was partially filmed  in Stakkholtsgjá canyon. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: This  adventure-comedy film directed by and starring Ben Stiller used the  canyon as one of its filming locations. The canyon appears in the scene  where Walter Mitty (played by Ben Stiller) skateboards down a winding  road. Star Trek: Discovery: The Stakkholtsgjá canyon was used as a  filming location for an episode of the third season of the science  fiction series Star Trek: Discovery. These are just a few examples of  the many productions that have been shot in Stakkholtsgjá canyon. Its  unique and breathtaking scenery has made it a popular destination for  filmmakers looking for dramatic and otherworldly locations.

One  of the most iconic sights in Þórsmörk is the towering volcano  Eyjafjallajökull, which famously erupted in 2010, causing widespread  disruption to air travel in Europe. Visitors can hike to the summit of  nearby mountains for stunning panoramic views of the surrounding  landscape and the volcano.

Þórsmörk is also a popular destination  for hikers, with two of Iceland's most famous trails passing through  the valley. The Laugavegur Trail and the Fimmvörðuháls Trail offer  multi-day hikes through some of Iceland's most dramatic scenery,  including glaciers, geothermal areas, and volcanic landscapes.

Overall,  Þórsmörk is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to experience  the rugged, unspoiled beauty of Iceland's wilderness.
