Þórisjökull, Glacier and mountain in Grímsnes- og Grafningshreppur, Iceland.
Þórisjökull rises to 1,350 meters in elevation, featuring a mix of glacial ice formations and volcanic structures in western-central Iceland.
The glacier separated from the larger Langjökull glacier at the end of the 18th century, marking a significant change in Iceland's glacial landscape.
The name derives from the troll Þórir who, according to Grettis Saga, inhabited a cave near the glacier in ancient times.
Access to Þórisjökull requires following the Kaldidalur Road to a large cairn named Beinakerlingin, situated at 720 meters elevation.
This geological formation classifies as a tuya, created through volcanic activity beneath ice sheets during the last Ice Age.
