Fimmvörðuháls Pass – An Epic Trek Between Icelandic Fire and Ice

📖Fimmvörðuháls Pass is one of the most spectacular trekking routes in Iceland and one of the best places to understand what this island is really about. Raw nature, fast-changing weather, volcanic power and glaciers existing side by side.

This ebook takes you along a 22–25 km trail connecting Skógar and the green valley of Þórsmörk. Along the way you pass countless waterfalls, glacier tongues, fresh lava fields and volcanic fissures created during the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption.
