Thorsardalur Valley
it is located in the south of Iceland, 110 km east of Reykjavik.
Description:
The valley of Thiorsardalur impresses with the diversity of the landscape and the saturation of colors.
You only have to see this painting once to fall in love with it forever. Against the background of sandy lava fields, the greenery of dwarf birches looks contrasting, and local rivers and waterfalls add all shades of blue to this natural idyll, which makes the Tjorsardalur valley unimaginably beautiful.
The longest river in Iceland, Thorsau, is the most important source of electricity in the country.
In addition, it is from the valley of Thorsardalur that overlooks the most active volcano in Iceland - Heklu. By the way, in 1104, after the end of the period of settlement of the island, the volcano woke up without warning and wiped off the face of the earth 20 farms in the valley of Tjorsardalur.
