In between Glaciers
The Fjallabak region takes its name from the numerous wild and rugged mountains with deeply incised valleys. Riding there is like being in the Lord of the Rings story. The hot pools at Landmannalaugar, where we will bathe are one of many manifestations of geothermal activity in the area. From the hot pools, the track takes us to Tungnaá River toward Vatnajökull Glacier and Langisjór Lake. Then, it’s back down by the Skaftá River to a volcanic fissure stretching from Mýrdalsjökull Glacier almost to Vatnajökull and over to Eldgjá, a canyon about 60 km long, 600 m wide and up to 150 m deep. It was formed in the year 934 during one of the largest volcanic eruptions in Iceland in historical times.

Day 3
And on the last day, there are also surprises. You will be privileged to see an amazing mountain road, which is not common route for most people, so you can count for a really unique experience. The locals call this road Öldufellsleið and it connects Skaftártungur and Rangárvelli. Throughout this spectacular road you will be able to see Mýrdalsjökul and Eyjafjallajökul, two of the most famous glaciers on Iceland. While riding behind the Mýrdalsjökul, we will pass the famous black desert with one of the most beautiful volcanoes Mælifell on our way to a real nature miracle canyon Markarfljótsgljúfur.
From this point the next stop is Selfoss, through the Emstrur desolate and lonesome area, that is truly eye-catching and uncanny. Our journey ends here, but experience and memories of this magical adventure will stay for good.
