About Midgard Base Camp

Run by an amazing family of local expert guides, the atmosphere of this place is top notch. Opened just last May in a former car mechanic warehouse, this simple, clean and friendly hostel aims to be a home-away-from-home for its guests. “Ending a day of adventuring with a dip in the rooftop hot tub that looks out to Eyjafjallajökull will always be memorable,” said one panellist.
