Venturing out with my equipment at midnight, I sought to capture this tranquil, otherworldly ambiance. The valley’s mist, combined with the soft twilight, made the landscape appear like the mythical realm of the elves, a place where the natural and supernatural worlds converge.

About Thorsmork Valley

Thorsmork, often referred to as the "Valley of Thor," is one of Iceland’s most beloved nature reserves, nestled between glaciers and mountains. The valley’s unique microclimate, caused by its location between three glaciers, traps moisture and creates a lush environment that is rare in Iceland. This moisture, coupled with the region’s mild climate, results in an abundance of flora that flourishes during the summer months. The valley is also known for its unpredictable weather, with sudden rain showers contributing to its misty, dreamlike atmosphere. The area is rich in Norse mythology, with many believing that it is home to the elusive elves, or "Huldufólk," who are said to live in the rocks and hills, hidden from human sight.
