Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience

Epic day of self driving.

Spectacular day spent driving around Thorsmork and the black sand beach. Our guide Skooli, picked the three of us up at our hotel near Hella and drove us to grab snacks for the day, and then to the gravel road toward Thorsmork. I had paid for some self-drive time but was delighted when Skooli handed over the keys to the heavily modified Land Cruiser and pointed in the direction of the valley. Narrow gravel and several river crossings led to our first stop at a glacier tongue. Multiple more river crossings expertly guided by Skooli and we ate lunch, hiked a few epic canyons and waterfalls before turning around and heading to the beach. The trip would have been to the glacier originally, but weather was foggy and warm so glacier driving was not in the cards. The beach was an endless black sand desert that we cruised across. Some dunes and technically challenging terrain navigation was required to find our way back to tarmac. All in all the best day. We plan on returning to Iceland and will definitely book another day with Arctic Trucks.
