Þórsmörk and Goðaland

Þórsmörk (Thor's wood) is the wooded ridge on the far side of Krossá river (in the middle background of the photo), Goðaland (Land of the Gods) is the area on the near side.
Both Þórsmörk and Goðaland have lush birch forests with flowers like orchids and cranesbill thanks to a sheltered microclimate between the glaciers of Myrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull.
